Bash/Sh incompatibilty
The question is somewhat off topic, but someone might know reference:
I set
export PS1='abc '
Then I start xterm and I get a bash with the same prompt.
When I do it via a script
#!/bin/bash
xterm
I get the standard prompt of bash (``\s-\v\$ '').
This behavior is incompatible with sh (on Solaris) and I do not understand,
why bash behaves that way (Is there an application for this. I could always
set PS1 in the script, if I explicitly want to do this, but the other way is
more difficult).
Bash on Solaris show the same strange behavior.
Thank you.
