>From the bash man page:
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
commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After
reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and
~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the
first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be
used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.
When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from
the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.
In other words, unless bash is executed with the specific -l or --login
argument, these files are ONLY executed at login.
