Depends on what you want to do. But, /etc/bashrc does not seem
to be a valid filename serched for by bash. From the manual:
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it
first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/pro
file, 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.
When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands
from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is
started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc,
if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the
--norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash
to read and execute commands from file instead of
~/.bashrc.
When bash is started non-interactively, to run a shell
script, for example, it looks for the variable BASH_ENV in
the environment, expands its value if it appears there,
and uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read
and execute. Bash behaves as if the following command
were executed:
if [ -n "$BASH_ENV" ]; then . "$BASH_ENV"; fi
but the value of the PATH variable is not used to search
for the file name.
