default shell argument

[Po-wei]

To invoke your favourite shell or launch the shell in login mode, you may append a 
shell pathname and an optional -l parameter to the mintty invocation

%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\bin\mintty.exe --WSL= --configdir="%APPDATA%\wsltty" /bin/bash -l

what is the different between -l and without -l argument?
Aren't they both login shell ?

[mintty]

No, only -l enforces a login shell (see man bash).

Is there a way for wsltty to launch the correct login shell without having to specify it in the .bat file? That is, I expected that when I ran chsh in Ubuntu, the next launch of WSLtty to launch not bash but whatever the default shell for my user is.

When launching a session via cmd.exe directly, i.e. running 'ubuntu', it does behave like this.

EDIT: Oops, this is repeat of #86 and rprichard/wslbridge#17

The next release of wsltty will integrate the latest wslbridge version.
