What is the script that bash reads when you login. I beleive that in Fedora it is ~/.bashrc.

Thanks,
Tom

The same one, just create it.

There is also ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile

(man bash, type '/INVOCATION' then type 'n')

actually it's /etc/profile

IF the user creates their own it's
~/home/<user>/.bash_profile

from there you can source the ~/.bashrc file.......

Code:

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    source ~/.bashrc
