See the manual page for bash under the section INVOCATION. Your bashrc should be evaluated if you invoke an interactive shell (login or xterm), unless you pass the --norc or --rcfile arguments. Perhaps bash is unable to determine if its input and output are attached to a tty. Do you have problems with /dev/pty or devfs? -jwb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
