[gentoo-user] [Q] bashrc

Re: [gentoo-user] [Q] bashrc
Hi, It exists for sure, and contains many settings therein, but the thing is it is not called or executed automatically upon logging in. (I must do source .bashrc to realize it.) What I want to ask is about the process that calls .bashrc during login time.

Re: [gentoo-user] [Q] bashrc
Hi, Yes, it worked to type bash. It reads .bash_profile which calls .bashrc. And bash -l also worked. I looked up into the man. It says the option means that bash acts as a login shell. Then does it also mean that my $SHELL is not the login shell? Again, echo $SHELL says /bin/sh, and it is symlinked to /bin/bash. I'm so confused as to poke into this and that, but do not have the right place to refer to. I forgot telling that I telnet to my server, and it happens so. But this headache is not related to the telnet login.

Re: [gentoo-user] [Q] bashrc
You missed the point of the first person to respond to you. Bash, when called as sh acts like sh. I.E. it does NOT look for .bashrc or .bash_profile, it looks for .profile. If you insist on keeping you shell as sh, then create a .profile (which can be a soft link to your .bash_profile if you want., but you are also going to want a .shrc. Why not just fix your shell to be bash in /etc/passwd? Lincoln On Sun, 2003-07-06 at 04:23, YOON, Joo-Yung wrote: Hi, Yes, it worked to type bash. It reads .bash_profile which calls .bashrc.

Re: [gentoo-user] [Q] bashrc
You fellows are right. I just added /bin/bash in /etc/passwd, and it started to work fine to read .bash_profile. Thanks. -- YOON, Joo-Yung / Gentoo Hovers Korea, BooChun-Shi Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
