Re: [LINUX_Newbies] File /etc/profile ignored by Bash

Do you have an /etc/bash/bashrc file? (In SUSE, I think it's /etc/bash.bashrc)

If not, you can put a script in /etc/init.d which will run scripts on startup.

Well, none of the configuration files mentioned above is sourced at startup, so I have to do it manually. In /etc/bash.bashrc Bash is told to source /etc/profile and /root/.bashrc if present via the 'default' if-statements:
