rxvt -e bash From Batch File
When I envoke rxvt -e bash from a command line I get rxvt with bash and bash sourced my .bashrc file. However, when I put rxvt -e bash in a batch file, launch the batch file, I get rxvt with bash, but my .bashrc file is not sourced... Does anyone know why my batch file doesn't source .bashrc and/or how I can get the batch file to source? I'm guessing I'm starting a login bash session, but I'm not certain... _Get your FREE Budweiser E-mail account at http://budweiser.com Budweiser E-Mail must be used responsibly and only is for consumers 21 years of age and older!
