Damn, I thought that was it. At this point I think I should
explain how it works on my system. My only other suggestion
is to put echo statements in the bash related startup files
to see what is running and what is not.
On login (runlevel2) these files are run in this order:
/etc/profile run by bash on login startup
~/.bash_profile run by bash on login startup
~/.bashrc sourced by ~/.bash_profile
/etc/bashrc sourced by ~/.bashrc
Each xterm that is started runs:
~/.bashrc run by bash on non-login startup
/etc/bashrc sourced by ~/.bashrc
I don't know if BASH_ENV is used in these situations,
apparently not.
There are other files that run if they exist. Man bash
has the details.
