| Re: Profile in Solaris terminal session said by timcuth  :Ok, this has been bugging me for years and I have never figured it out. I'll bet some of y'all can provide the answer. I have a Solaris 10 workstation at work. When I start a new Terminal window, it knows nothing of my profile. For at least 10 years I have been working around this by entering ". ./.profile". Is there any file I can create that will do a similar thing automatically when I open a new terminal? Like .bashrc in Ubuntu Linux? BTW, I use ksh as my login shell. Are we talking about how to do it in the standard DTWM graphical login? If so, just symlink your .profile to .dtprofile.

To clarify, here is what I am doing. I am right-clicking on the desktop, which brings up a Desktop menu. I slide down to Tools and click, which brings up a sub-menu. Then I click on Terminal, which opens a new window with a command prompt in it. These Terminal windows are where I do 99% of my work. When I open them, neither .dtprofile nor .profile is executed.

| Re: Profile in Solaris terminal session If starting dtterm from the command line, you would use the option "-ls" so that it starts as a login shell. There is probably a line you can put in $HOME/.Xdefaults to force that as a default for dtterm.
