Nedit default shell

Hi, I can't seem to make Nedit use bash instead of csh. and if I put :

nedit.shell : /bin/bash

in nedit.rc it rewrites it if I change any settings... anyone know's how to set it to bash for good? (beside doing a symlink called csh pointing to bash)

Re: Nedit default shell

Try adding it to .Xdefaults instead.

Re: Nedit default shell

It works for me. Make sure you got "nedit.shell: /bin/sh" in .Xdefaults. Also you can test it out with:

nedit -xrm "nedit.shell: /bin/bash"

And if that works then add it to .Xdefaults. I also have:

nedit*fontList: -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-p-74-iso8859-15

in my .Xdefaults to get smaller menu fonts.

Re: Nedit default shell

Ok,

I added it to .Xdefaults and it does nothing...
on the other hand if I lunch Nedit like this :
nedit -xrm "nedit.shell: /bin/bash"

it does work...

can anyone please post his .Xdefaults so I can see the syntax, maybe I'm simply writing this wrong or something....

thank you.

Oh, can it be it has something to do with me using xfree86 4.4 ?

Re: Nedit default shell

I'm also using Xfree 4.4, and Nedit 5.4.

My .Xdefaults:

Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium

nedit*fontList: -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-p-74-iso8859-15
nedit.shell: /bin/sh
