I think .bashrc is for non-login shells? logging into a console
or logging in via ssh/telnet/etc is a login shell. you probably
want ~/.profile ? see the bash manpage
nate
the ~/.bashrc file is read by non-login shells (i.e. xterm or eterm). the
~/.bash_profile file is read by login(1) when you log in to the console.

Why is it that when I switch to a text console with -- that
bash does not read in my ~/.bashrc?
When I pull up a terminal in X it works fine (all my command aliases are
there). And when I log in to a text console, if explicitly type in the
command 'bash' at the bash prompt, the new shell reads
6 matches
