On my box, the ~/.bash_profile has this script:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
Only the umask and command to bring up screen (the 'window' manager)
are there.
It's for the login shell.
Everything else is in ~/.bashrc, including all the environmental variables
I want for every instance and subshell.
export Mail=/var/spool/mail/me
and so forth.
There is also /etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, and /etc/login.defs for
global stuff, which is usually overridden by local rc files.
