Far be it for me to point out the obvious idiocy in that plan... but *what*
profile would it execute? For what shell? Oh, wait... everyone uses bash,
right?
Nonsense. A clued user takes steps within the mechanisms of whatever shell
he uses to ensure things are set up the way he wants them. Why does this
suddenly become so hard to comprehend when the shell is *X*?
X has a startup mechanism the same as bash/ash/dash/csh/zsh/ksh/etc. Use
it. No other shell is running.
