Hi All, I thought the ~/.bash_profile was sourced only at login but mine it seems, gets read everytime I start a terminal session, example: I start an aterm and have a custom bash setup as many do. I have this line for fetchmail in ~/.bash_profile ..
# start fetchmail fetching fetchmail -d 600 So when I start the aterm, this is at the beginning: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is BASH 2.05b - DISPLAY on :0.0 Hello, ricks Current date: Sat Jan 29 19:27:08 EST 2005 Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. --Mahatma Gandhi fetchmail: can't accept options while a background fetchmail is running. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I keep commenting out lines in the startup files but it isn't pointing to the offender .. and it's not terminal specific .. Any idea's ?
