If - for whatever reason - a script uses set -u (nounset) and includes
/etc/profile.d/70-systemd-shell-extra.sh (e.g. transitively via
/etc/profile) the script would fail with:
/etc/profile.d/70-systemd-shell-extra.sh: line 15: SHELL_PROMPT_PREFIX: unbound variable
For example:
$ cat > foo.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
set -u
source /etc/profile
EOF
$ chmod 700 foo.sh
$ ./foo.sh
/etc/profile.d/70-systemd-shell-extra.sh: line 15: SHELL_PROMPT_PREFIX: unbound variable
Fix this by using shell parameter substitution[^1] (which is a POSIX
shell concept) to set the $SHELL_* variables to the empty string if
undefined.
