The commands contained in ~/.bashrc are executed for every shell invoked unless the "--norc" option is specified. That's true not only for interactive shells but also for shells launched to execute scripts, which is why all my scripts use this shebang line: !#/bin/bash --norc If you don't do this, you really don't know what aliases, variables and shell procedures are defined when your script runs, since the .bashrc read is that of the invoking user. > ... > > Greg Wallace Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
