hi ya

Is there a good system for setting variables, aliases, etc that
need to be
set for user X, whether I log in at a login prompt or using su? I'm
confused by all the different .profile options (there are at least
3 for
bash, why is that?)
why ?? because ... long history ...
general rule ...
- if you're confused .. do NOT change files in anything other
than your own home directory "/home/you"
My solution to this nonsense is to have a file
/home/me/my_startup
Might he need to do this in his .bashrc (or /etc/bash.bashrc on a single
user system) to make this work?
sources /home/me/my_startup
BTW, you can use functions in that file or the .bashrc file ex. (note
the @ sign will take whatever the perimeter is to be..
