My bad. Very sorry. I totally forgot to mention, that root has changed it's login shell to /bin/sh. I do not use csh at all. So /etc/profile is being read and the SOURCEDIR is a valid environmental variable, as can be seen from the first echo $SOURCEDIR. It somehow does just not get handed down to mergemaster - unless exported again on the command line. I'll have a more in depth read through the explanation of Polytropon and sh(1) and certainly will give that a go. Very likely mergemaster calls it's own /bin/sh and that would then require the .shrc. Even though I still maintain, an export in [.]profile should be handed down to every subshell, unless overwritten. But I'm afraid, stubborness does not get me any further, unfortunately. Tanks again, I'll report back. > > By default root login uses /bin/csh which doesn't load /etc/profile > but rather /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/csh.login. >
