I think (not sure) that is have it figured out. The initial login reads ~/.profile but subsequent sub shells only read ~/.bashrc (.kshrc, or .cshrc ...). The ~/.profile contains the path and environment variables. The login shell is the the only one to set these. This initial login is referred to as the login shell? Do I understand that correctly? -- Kind regards, Jonathan _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
