Quoting "Reuben D. Budiardja" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: when you 'log in', it is not .bashrc which gets executed, but .bash_profile .bashrc is executed when you open an xterm (or some other term emulator), when you `su` or in some other instances, as when you telnet or ssh.
maybe if you do a link from your .bashrc to a .bash_profile, though it would be better to have separate entries for each, and have a comon file, say, .bash_common, and include it from both .bashrc and .bash_profile with the line . .bash_common (note the '.' at the beginning of the line, since it is it that says "include this file") > > Hi, > I recenltly moved around my home directory.
