profile.d: don't bail if $SHELL_* variables are unset
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If - for whatever reason - a script uses set -u (nounset) and includes
/etc/profile.d/70-systemd-shell-extra.sh (e.g. transitively via
/etc/profile) the script would fail with:

    /etc/profile.d/70-systemd-shell-extra.sh: line 15: SHELL_PROMPT_PREFIX: unbound variable

For example:

    $ cat > foo.sh <<EOF
    #!/bin/sh
    set -u

    source /etc/profile
    EOF
    $ chmod 700 foo.sh
    $ ./foo.sh
    /etc/profile.d/70-systemd-shell-extra.sh: line 15: SHELL_PROMPT_PREFIX: unbound variable

Fix this by using shell parameter substitution[^1] (which is a POSIX
shell concept) to set the $SHELL_* variables to the empty string if
undefined.
