    Look at the bash manpage, search down to the INVOCATION section. The
    rather amazingly complex rules for which files are sourced, in which
    order etc. are described there. I think ~/.profile is skipped if
    ~/.bash_profile exists, although don't quote me on that.

    If I want stuff to run no matter whether it's interactive or a login
    shell or whatever, I create ~/.bash_both and source it from whichever
    other dot files are appropriate.
