Yes, it does start another subshell, but it has the other, desired affect as well - it reflects the update to .bashrc. When you kill the current shell the subshell is killed as well. Is there a disadvantage or problem with the subshell? Just curious - if its harmful I'll go with your answer "source .bashrc". Thanks! -- /\ Dark< >Lord \/
