I'm using Eterm on the Fluxbox Window Manager. Now normally when you boot Eterm, it starts up as an interactive terminal. If you want it to start up as a login terminal, on the other hand, you'd include the "-l" switch. I tried the "-l" switch, and yes, Eterm starts up as a login terminal. Thing is, it starts up as a login terminal even when I don't include the "-l" switch.

Anybody know why this is happening. I'd really like to know since I want Eterm to start up as an interactive terminal.

Thanks

Check your config file in ~/.Eterm/themes/<themename>/theme.cfg

there should be a line, "login_shell" followed by a 0 or 1. Make sure it's 0 if you want the interactive shell.
