I'll chime in with my two cents here;
1.) Simple suggestion, maybe you have tried it, but have you looked in ~/.bashrc or /etc/bashrc? Or maybe ~/.login has what you're looking for. Or hey, ~/.tschrc?
2.) I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume that you read some sort of instructions when you set this up. If you could try to rememeber what those were, you could look those up again; perhaps that'll spark inspiration and/or memories.

Where can I find, modify, or kill Terminal.app shell startup items in Mac OS X (10.3.8)?
Long ago, I set up the [EMAIL PROTECTED] command line client to run when I started a Terminal session. I do not recall how I did this. Now, I want the application *not* to start up when I open a new Terminal window, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to stop it.
I am running the tcsh shell, but the same problem occurs if I switch to the bash shell. I thought that this might be a weird line in my startup script, but I cannot for the life of me find the startup script (and how could the same script affect both tcsh and bash?). If I move the offending [EMAIL PROTECTED] executable (fah5, if that matters), then I cannot start a shell at all. If I use control-C to kill the fah startup, it kills the shell session. Grrrr!
Here is what I see in the Terminal (I have switched back to tcsh for this demo):

The ".bash_history" and ".bash_profile" files contain no reference to startup items (and I'm running tcsh, anyways).
What gives?
Thanks for any and all help you can give me!
Best wishes, Clint
