Yes,
That why if you source the ~/.bashrc file in /etc/profile, you always
get your
bashrc sourced regardless of whether it is a login or interactive shell. If I
create a separate ~/.bash_profile, then I have to maintain 2 sets of aliases,
etc.
Cheating and reading ahead... I like Jordy's approach of softlinking
~/.bashrc_profile -> ~/.bashrc That would work if its not sourced in
/etc/profile.
