    INVOCATION
            A login shell is one whose first character of argument
            zero is a -, or one started with the -login flag.

            An interactive shell is one whose standard input and out­
            put are both connected to terminals (as determined by
            isatty(3)), or one started with the -i option. PS1 is set
            and $- includes i if bash is interactive, allowing a shell
            script or a startup file to test this state.

            Login shells:
              On login (subject to the -noprofile option):
                    if /etc/profile exists, source it.

                    if ~/.bash_profile exists, source it,
                      else if ~/.bash_login exists, source it,
                        else if ~/.profile exists, source it.

              On exit:
                    if ~/.bash_logout exists, source it.

    ...
    $ cat /etc/profile
    ...
    for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
            if [ -x $i ]; then
                    . $i
            fi
    done
    ...
    $ grep PATH /etc/profile /etc/profile.d/*.sh

    /etc/profile.d/kde.sh:
