I was wondering where I got it from.
Running Linux, 3rd Edition, Welsh, Dalheimer and Kaufman.
page 117
They also mentions .bash_profile
"For the bash shell. Another shell script. The difference between this script and
.bashrc is that .bash_profile runs only when you log in. It was originally designed
so you could separate interactive shells from those run by background processes like
cron. But it is not too useful on modern computers with the X Window System, because
when you open a new xterm window, only .bashrc runs. If you start up a windown with
the command xterm -ls, it will run .bash_profile too."
Sorry about the Linux stuff. For information only.
