Re: .bash_profile never read in X
[This message has also been posted.]
Okay, people pointed out to me that .bash_profile isn't *supposed* to
execute in an xterm unless a special flag is used. Fine.
On further investigation, .bashrc *is* executing. And I get this
output:
</home/carlf>$ echo $PATH
(/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/carlf/bin)
. . . so why won't the xterm execute files in /home/carlf/bin unless
I prepend an explicit path to them? I have a script,
/home/carlf/bin/newsguy, but typing just "newsguy" get me "command
not found", although ~carlf/bin/newsguy works fine.
