You ought to have something like: test -f ~/.bashrc && . ~/.bashrc somewhere into your .bash_profile file to make Bash read the file .bashrc too. This all becomes clear when we read in the info pages of bash: When Bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it first reads and executes commands from the file `/etc/profile', if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for `~/.bash_profile', `~/.bash_login', and `~/.profile', in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The `--noprofile' option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "Curse me if I'm wrong, but don't you want to Slang me?"
