The most common way this is used is to reload edits that you make to a resource
file -- like .profile -- into the current shell.
$> . .profile
or
$> . .bashrc

Hi all,
Just want to know what really is the difference when running a script as

the other one without a dot.
Or does it matter only when invoking the script from within a script?
