That must be a customized man page, probably by a distro. Mine reads: When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc. The point is that *bash* does not read /etc/bash.bashrc by default as we use it in LFS. My copy of Debian does read it as an include in /etc/profile. -- Bruce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
