now i wish Python had a way to add commands

[Skaperen]

what i think i need to do is create a user using traditional user management tools and not run the scripts that set up users. that way they won't have the user owned parts of the config starting with the 762 line .bashrc file.

so what if it works on that user. most of my config are essential to what i do so i can't just start from nothing to migrate to xonsh. i'll need to figure this out, which might need a lot of understanding of xonsh. a lot of my config, much written in C, some of which is over 20 years old, even i no longer understand it, or even how to remove it (new things often depend on old things). the boot setup logs in most of the users and take over 7 minutes to run for about 12 users. fortunately that's only when i boot up.
