While I'm not a newbie with Linux (mostly abuse Apache and Java on my box) I take a lot of things for granted. One is how BASH works. It works most of the time.
In fact I'm a TCSH convert to BASH. In RHL 7.3 BASH is the default shell, hence my conversion. But let me ask about the ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, etc. files. They don't seem to work. I have looked up all the documentation. The man pages state that ~/.bash_profile is read in turn with /etc/bashrc and ~/.bashrc but the ~/.bash_profile is disabled or just not being read. I have CLASSPATH settings for my shell in this file and have to manually source it with each new shell I use. Annoying. Is there something I'm missing here? Something that needs to be turned on? I saw a reference to BASH_PROFILE="TRUE" on one site but that didn't do the trick. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim /** * Timothy Stone .
