Public bug reported:
>From the man bash page:
The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands
from file instead of /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc.
However when I add to /etc/bash.bashrc an echo statement at the top like echo
Inside bash.bashrc and then execute:
/bin/bash --rcfile /tmp/some_test -i
where /tmp/some_test has some simple command like an echo statement I still get
the echo statement indicating that /etc/bash.bashrc was loaded and run in
addition to /tmp/some_test:
Inside bash.bashrc
you are in /tmp/some_test right now
Expected behavior was that since I used the --rcfile option that
/etc/bash.bashrc would be ignored and not referenced. Only /tmp/some_test
should have been used.
I also tried --noprofile with no change as well as leaving out -i. If I use
--norc then /etc/bash.bashrc is correctly not used.
When I use the --rcfile option I expect /etc/bash.bashrc to not be used.
If this is going to be the behavior then the man page for bash needs to
be updated to state such.
