The daemon and this process would run in different shells and I am unaware of any daemon process that auto-magically reconfigures it’s self to adapt to any other arbitrary shell’s changed environment variables. In fact, IMHO, this seems like a fundamentally flawed way for the deamon process to behave. I believe the client communicating with the deamon that should be providing information to the daemon.

It might open a grab bag of exciting behavior depending on what, if any, 
filtering is done on the type and content of environment variables being 
set.

The $PATH to /tmp/.dr0pp3r/.h3ll/ is paved with good intentions.
