If I remember correctly... with older versions of cygwin the file /etc/profile contained the following statement
test -f ./.bashrc && . ./.bashrc which would read .bashrc at startup. The above statement has been removed from newer versions. I think that the "proper" way to read .bashrc is to create a ~/.bash_profile with something similar to the following: if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi When bash is launched with the "--login -i" options, it looks for the .bash_profile file. --Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lane, Frank L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 11:53 AM Subject: How do I get my .bashrc read at startup? > Thanks to Randall for the bash(ing)!:-) > > How do I get my .bashrc read at startup? > > <snip> > > Thanks, > Frank > > -- > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
