Re: User's bin path not recognised in login script

you don't have to run bash --login because it's done for you by virtue of having /bin/bash in your line of /etc/passwd. However, that presupposes you're logging in to a VC and then running X with the startx command. It seems likely that you're not. > Maybe what this is tellin

is a bit beyond my experience. I've never tried bash --login before as I haven't previously come across it. Maybe what this is telling me is that I should run another script from my "login" script by 'bash --login real_login_scriptfile' in order to get these profiles to run first?

Where should I put commands to be executed when I login, & when I open an xterm, but not when a shell is run on other occasions? I want some commands executed when I login, but not when a shell is otherwise run, so I put them in my ~/.login, vs. my ~/.bashrc. Unfortunately, they aren't executed

Hi, Is it possible that Linux executes a script file when a user logs on? So for example, if user RUDY logs on, it executes the /home/rudy/script file, and when ROOT logs on, it executes the /root/script file! Could anybody please give me some examples? Thanks in advance, Rudy
