Who reads the comment line on /etc/profile ?

[shinobar]

/etc/profile has the comment at line 88 (upup-476)

Code: Select all

#LANG=en_US.utf8 w004 going back to non-utf8...

I am not sure but occasionally it is read and the locale is set to

en_US.utf8 w004 going back to non-utf8...

what program is reading this comment line other than /usr/sbin/shooselocale
