I'm a twit and sending you rubbish. Switch profile and rc in the penultimate sentence starting "presumably the answer..", and colour me embarrassed. I intended to say that as variables you want to be picked up should go in bashrc not profile, the comments in the two sample files implying variables live in profile should be updated. Apologies. I did proof-read before sending; I just didn't do it very well. Now I just hope this gets added to bug 3626 and not made into a new one. This issue has been forwarded to a developer for further review. The comments are correct as far as I can tell. The treatment of the dot files in user home directories is different (and somewhat documented in the bach info pages) |
