[gentoo-user] my gentoo wont read .bashrc automatically

[Xi Shen]

Hi,

every time i reboot the system, the ~/.bashrc will not be
read/executed automatically. i have give it x attribute. also i have
checked the /etc/bash/bashrc file, and i did not find and logic about
reading/executing the ~/.bashrc file. is there anything wrong with my
system?

You don't need the executable bit set on bashrc. ~/.bashrc gets read
when you start an interactive shell, e.g. an xterm. When you log in a
login shell is started, which reads ~/.bash_profile. If you want that
your ~/.bashrc will be read on login include the following statement
in ~/.bash_profile

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc


Cheers,
Renat

The standard bash_profile shipped in skel even has a comment directly above 
that (commented) line saying something to the effect of "uncomment the 
following line to have .bashrc read at every new shell"...

I think the one in /etc/skel/ is the one you are looking for.  I posted
the command so you would know how I found it.  ;-)

Changing it now won't do him any good - the one on skel is just a template 
file copied over to the new home dir when a user is created.

He'll have to diff the files and apply the bits he wants to his own 
.bash_profile

Or do the same to /etc/profile* to have it apply to all users as a global 
default
