Well, where exactly do you draw the line between "system" and "configuration file"? Ubuntu, as installed from scratch, comes with quite a few configuration files and /etc/profile is usually considered as one of them. > I imagined that i could to this by parsing some files such as /etc/ > profile > or ~/profile, for example.

As you can start another shell in a shell, use bash it's self to interpret it's environment: $ bash env Bash does distinguish a few modes it can run in: "login shell", "ksh emulation", etc. See the man page for more.
