If none of these are problems I guess don't understand the proposal.
How about I simplify things a bit:
Say I have /usr/bin/es as my shell, and I'm always logging in through ssh.
The system has been up for 3 months, and I'm installing a new package.
which has been implemented to tweak some environmental variables so that
things continue to work smoothly.
What sets the environmental variables?
I'm presuming that I have to terminate all my existing sessions and
restart, or run something manually from within my existing sessions
or things won't work properly, but how would these two procedures
work?
Note that I haven't even mentioned screen. [Er.. oops]
