Run Shell Script Without Profile

[meskue]

Does anyone know how to invoke a do script in the Terminal without the Terminal using the .profile file?

hi meskue,

from the bash manual page, but i think it should apply to ‘sh’ as well (man sh, in your terminal):

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter-
active shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes com-
mands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading
that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile,
in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that
exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the
shell is started to inhibit this behavior.

so something like:

set normalCommand to "/bin/sh --noprofile
/bin/echo \"I'm not using a profile\""

tell application "Terminal"
	do script normalCommand
end tell

unfortunately, since you don’t post what you are trying to do i can’t test this.
