Hmm... Almost. If it is an alias that I want for interactive use then I would want it in an emacs interactive shell too. Which means that I wouldn't want to key off of TERM=dumb in that case since it wouldn't be there in that interactive session. I just put anything that I always want loaded above the PS1 test line (shown as defaulted in /etc/skel/.bashrc): # always loaded [ -z "$PS1" ] && return # conditionally loaded And most of the time I am not really worried about if I have a version (old upstream or new patched) of bash which reads the file or not. Most of the time I won't notice. If I do notice then I will already know what is going on and deal with it on the fly.
