Thank you for your reply... No mention is made of the following files :)
/etc/bash.bashrc
/etc/skel/.bash_profile
/etc/skel/.inputrc
$HOME/.bash_profile - commands inside this file only get executed by the
login shell.
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc – executed when xwindows start, startup programs
From the bash man page:
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter‐
active shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes com‐
mands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading
that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile,
in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that
exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the
shell is started to inhibit this behavior.
From your ~/.bash_profile file:
# source the system wide bashrc if it exists
if [ -e /etc/bash.bashrc ] ; then
source /etc/bash.bashrc
fi
Files under /etc/skel are templates that get copied into user home directories
when they are first accessed.
xinitrc is from X. See "man xinit".
