However when I then log in to the recovered system as a user via ssh,
or directly on a tty (non-gui), the login process does not execute
the instructions in the user's .bashrc file and I get a shell prompt
with none of the required environmental variables set - also the last
line in the .bashrc is an exec of a script that bring up the
application - this does not happen.
When I log in to the gui desktop as the user and then open a terminal
screen the instructions in the .bashrc do get executed
and the application runs as it should.
Any ideas of where to look ?
For starters, add some echo statements to the beginning of the .bashrc
file to ensure that it is being executed. Maybe an error is
occurring when it is a login shell. I usually debug startup problems
like this by putting an exit call half way through the .bashrc file
and add some echo statements.
