'wslbridge2.backend' arg list lacking the '-l' option ???? #196

Closed aabatpurdue closed 5 years ago

aabatpurdue commented 5 years ago

This is sort of an extension of the "login_shell=off" problem.

Attachment contains results from two pslist -ap runs plus the command lines for wslbridge2.backend, one for 3.0.2.3 and one for 3.0.6.

The wslbridge2.backend command line lacks specification of the '-l' option. Is this a feature?

A second thing I noticed is an extraneous sh process. If my assumption is correct that its primary purpose is to instantiate wslbridge2.backend, it is not necessary to keep the process in the tree. You could run " init -> sh { (backend&)& exit }" to remove it.

Both backends and hvpty frontend have a "-l" option. The wslbridge2 frontend does not seem to have it. Anyway, all 4 also support login mode via argv[0][0]. It's just a matter of the wsltty integration, which shall add the mintty "-" parameter in the shortcuts.

Previous comment was wrong. Backends support "-l" and both frontends support *argv[0].
