Since I added a .bash_login file for the Ruby on Rails tutorial, my
.profile file was being ignored. (My .profile is where 'test -r
/sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh' resides.)
I've done some poking around and have found that I have two questions as
follow.
You are probably at least vaguely familiar with this from man bash:
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter-
active shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes com-
mands from the file /sw/etc/profile, if that file exists. After read-
ing that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.pro-
file, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one
that exists and is readable.
So I checked out /sw/etc/profile:
$ cat /sw/etc/profile
source /sw/share/init/bash/profile
... which looks to me like it is intended to invoke this script (which I
don't quite understand):
$ cat /sw/share/init/bash/profile
##
# Set path
##
export PATH="${HOME}/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
export MANPATH="${HOME}/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man"
##
# Read user's .profile
##
default_initdir=/sw/share/init
default_bash_initdir=${default_initdir}/bash
user_initdir=~/Library/init
user_bash_initdir=${user_initdir}/bash
if [ -r ${user_bash_initdir} ]; then
initdir=${user_initdir}
bash_initdir=${user_bash_initdir}
else
initdir=${default_initdir}
bash_initdir=${default_bash_initdir}
fi
if [ -r ${bash_initdir}/profile.mine ]; then
source ${bash_initdir}/profile.mine
fi
# Local Variables:
# mode:shell-script
# sh-shell:bash
# End:
Am I mistaken that /sw/etc/profile ought to use "." instead of "source"
in this case (since bash is the default shell)? Or maybe it is only
intended to work for tcsh?
I'm not sure what the second script is intended to do, but I think it's
supposed to find the user's .profile. If so, I would expect that I
should have been able to use ~/.bash_profile AND have ~/.profile read if
/sw/etc/profile worked the way I think it is intended. Is this even
close to being correct?
Thanks,
Robert
