Look at the bash manpage, search down to the INVOCATION section. The rather amazingly complex rules for which files are sourced, in which order etc. are described there. I think ~/.profile is skipped if ~/.bash_profile exists, although don't quote me on that.
If I want stuff to run no matter whether it's interactive or a login shell or whatever, I create ~/.bash_both and source it from whichever other dot files are appropriate. -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
