What is missing in the FILES section, is that if ~/.bash_profile is unavailable, interactive login Bash looks for ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. See the INVOCATION section which provides all the details. > But where is the > documentation for what they do? Please, start with bash(1) which is the definitive reference on Bash behavior. Then see the documentation for the utilities invoked in the initialization files. Perhaps, the easiest thing one can do is to provide the custom ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc by editing/replacing those created by the installation procedure. greg -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
