Exactly. If I reconfigure my X terminal emulator to give me a login shell, then my profile initializations are run---but they are then run for every new shell I open, which is incorrect behavior. (It's not uncommon to start up background programs and such [like ssh-agent] in ~/.profile, as the file is by definition supposed to be run once per login session.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
