What shell does ‘exec’ actually use and how can I change it?
This might be a non-i3-question after all.
In the i3 docs, it says that
“What good is a window manager if you can’t actually start any applications? The exec command starts an application by passing the command you specify to a shell,”
but what shell are the commands actually passed to? My user’s shell is set to /bin/zsh, but apparently exec invokes command via /bin/sh. How can I change that?
I use debian testing/unstable, should that matter.
Background: I use an i3 key binding to invoke urxvtcd -e emacs -nw, but evaluating (getenv "PATH") from within emacs gives me then the wrong environment (whereas (getenv "SHELL") gives me /bin/zsh).
