Bash login shell

[kriswuollett]

I assume this question has more to do with bash than with russh, but how would one get a bash login shell which sources the user's .bashrc (Ubuntu 22.04).

I've adapted client_exec_simple and running ["shopt"] gets login_shell off. Using ["bash", "-l", "-c", "shopt"] gets login_shell on. However if I try to run a command, like ["bash", "-l", "-c", "my-app"] I get exit status 127. If I check with ["bash", "-l", "-c", "echo $PATH"] it is clear the path for the command isn't in the list.

If I just use the full path to my-app it works fine.

I've also tried running the channel request_pty before exec but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

You probably also need -i (interactive shell)
