    Profiles read are dependent upon the shell you execute, whether the shell is
    a login shell or interactive.

    The man page for each shell should have what you need. If you're running
    the bash shell, type:

    man bash

    and search for the INVOCATION section

    For an interactive bash login shell (therefore what you start when you log
    in), profiles are read in the following order:

    /etc/profile
    ~/.bash_profile (which should call up ~/.bashrc)
    ~/.bash_login
    ~/.profile

    if the files exist.

    Hope this helps,
    Michael
