XQuartz: xterm command slow since last update

terminalx11xquartz

I often use the following command to get a new terminal on XQuartz.

xterm -sh 1.01 -u8 -fa 12 -fg LightBlue -bg black &

However, since the last update of XQuartz, it takes about 1 min for the new terminal to open, whereas a simple xterm command without any options is immediate.

Could someone help me out with this?

The last update of XQuartz ( 2.7.11_rc2 (xorg-server 1.18.4) ) seems to have corrected the problem.

MacOS Terminal – Understanding the Creation of $PATH in Bash and PHP Environment

On OS X you'll have following :

The base PATH used is located in /etc/paths. It is used to set $PATH.

By default, the file contains :

/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin

It will also load the paths located in /etc/path.d/.

When opening the terminal I will load :

~/.bash_profile
~/.bash_login, (if .bash_profile doesn't exist)
~/.profile (if .bash_login doesn't exist).

These files can load some other files, for example .bashrc.

If you want to expand your path you can do it in one of the files by adding your export command you gave in your question.
