Not if you ever EVER want to run that shell script on a stock non-Linux UNIX host (Solaris, AIX, HP, ...). Don't code shell scripts that way, gang. (John was only joking. Yeah, that's it! He was foolin y'all.) Like Tzafrir said: > Some people are known to work with tcsh or zsh, though... My point exactly! The world is bigger than BASH. Heck, the world is bigger than Linux. Putting logon or global settings into .bashrc is a huge mistake. Specifically [pun intended], putting general purpose things into a special purpose thing doesn't work in general. -- RMT
