Invoking the default shell as a login shell #45

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When MinTTY is invoked without a command, the user's default shell is
started as a non-login shell. It would be nice to be able to do that
without having to explicitly invoke the shell (as in "/bin/bash -li").

Implemented in r124. If the command is a single "-" without further arguments, 
the
user's default shell is invoked with argv[0] set to "-", which causes shells to
behave as login shells.
