Cool trick!
I was thinking something like adding the following to the local .bashrc:
[-- .bashrc --]
if [ ! X"${BASHRC_LOCAL}" = X"" ] && \
[ -r "${BASHRC_LOCAL}" ]; then
. "${BASHRC_LOCAL}"
fi
Then running xterm with BASHRC_LOCAL set to the path of the local bash
script:
BASHRC_LOCAL="/path/foo" xterm -e bash
--rcfile is better though :-)
