PR gdb/21574: Mention $SHELL and startup-with-shell on "help run"
This simple patch updates the documentation of "help run" in order to mention that the shell used to start the inferior comes from the $SHELL environment variable. It also mentions that this behaviour can be disabled by using the "set startup-with-shell off" command. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-06-14 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> PR gdb/21574 * infcmd.c (_initialize_infcmd): Expand "help run" documentation to mention $SHELL and startup-with-shell.
