Puzzled Pigeon: Huh? It gets executed, according to the first line... # ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells. It sure looks like a shell script, and you put shell script commands in it. And shell scripts need to be executable before you can execute them. Tries experiment: chmod a-x ~/.bash_profile and logs in from another vc. Gordon Bennett! It's true an' all. Sorry Josh, I thought that was a typo. How does that one work then?
