Umm they both work, sort of. As I said before, the user profile gets executed twice. If you run some executable from the user profile which should run only once, it's a problem.
First invocation is from the '-e /usr/bin/bash --login' part, the second is from the 'exec bash --rcfile ~/.profile' (or 'exec -l bash') My solution runs bash only once and I have no problems with it so far. I just wanted to share. I hope it's clear now :) Frantisek ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Vincent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 1:02 PM Subject: Re: Open bash at the current explorer directory? > Hi, > > Here is an alternative that has also been posted before, that also > works when it's a disk drive rather than a directory.
