I did a simple test by putting the following line at the top of my ~/.bashrc file: echo You are using bashrc I did not see the echo on starting a new konsole, but only when i logged in on a virtual console. Also if you enter "bash" at the commandline, you will see the echo. > > 1) put them in your ~/.bash_login file Does this work? Using the same echo test as above I saw no success. -Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I found that commands in my .bashrc file got executed every time I opened a new konsole, but I have commands I only want to run once when I first log in. It seems there are 2 ways to make commands that only run when you first log in, but not every time you open a bash shell: 1) put them in your ~/.bash_login file 2) In KDE, drag and drop programs them into the Autostart folder which should be on your desktop (but wasn't on mine), or put shell scripts in the /home/username/.kde/Autostart directory and make sure the file has execute permission. Commands in the .bash_logout file seem to get run only during final logout, not when you exit from shells. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Perhaps you should rephrase your question again in the debian-kde mailing list if you don't get feedback here ? OT: I really like the pictures about your orienting ski trips.

So when your problem has been solved, by all means do notify the list of which solution was the correct one. When I trawl the archives for a solution to a problem, this is something I always find a very valuable time saver. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Thank you! Is it considered polite to post a thank-you message, or is this unnecessary email traffic? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Debian equivalent of .login file?
What's the Debian equivalent of Unix's .login and .logout files?
