.bashrc help please... have a look.

OK here is the etc/bashrc on a older server we have...

Here is my question, I also have a ~.bashrc, and when I log in it does not load it, although after I log in I can type #bash and my ~.bashrc loads...

Why not when I log in, is it because of something in this .bashrc?

Can I add a command something like if there is a ~.bashrc, then use it, if not use this one? Or would that be bad?

Some of this makes little sense to me, someone with expert eyes see the sense of all the options?

Thanks,

Take a look at your ~/.bash_profile. It wouldn't surprise me if it has something like the following in it, but commented out:

Code:

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
	. ~/.bashrc
fi

If you uncomment that piece of code (or add it in) your .bashrc file should start sourcing again. This is caused because bash knows the difference between interactive logins and other types of logins.

lol whoops... or maybe no /.bash_profile... that might do it too huh.

So I created the .bash_profile, added those links and all is well now...

Thanks
