Yup, when using the BASH shell, it will call the .bash_profile upon an
interactive login or .bashrc for a non-interactive login. You can refer to the
man page for your shell to find out what script file it runs. BTW /etc/profile
is used by most shells as a system wide profile meaning it is read for all
logins.
Hope this helps,
