I'm trying to make bash's startup files work, and the behavior that my installation exhibits does not seem to match the documentation that I have: - The book, "The Complete FreeBSD" claims that bash executes '.profile', and then '.bashrc'. - The bash man page claims that it executes '.bash_profile' on login, and '.bashrc' for each shell (login shell also?). - My installation (the package installed with sysinstall) executes '.profile' on login, and executes '.bashrc' only when I execute bash again from the login shell. Which behavior is correct? What do to obtain the proper behavior? Thanks in advance for any answers. :) -- Mike Roberts Email: zoarre@bigfoot.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
