[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49765] Windows CLI version octave tries to write history to C:\

[Amro]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #49765 (project octave):

Either way, since cmdshell.bat launches a Bash shell and not Octave itself, I
think it should be started as an interactive/login shell, that way it
processes startup scripts in /etc/profile first followed by user-defined ones
(like  ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile, and ~/.bashrc).

This is similar to what default shortcuts of Cygwin or MinGW/MSYS on Windows
do anyway.

It should be mentioned that $HOME is set by /etc/profile initialization
script, along with $PS1 and creating ~/.inputrc to make a better shell
experience.
