I think, it is not a good idea ... |

If you start bash as login-shell, it should parse ${[HOME}/.bash_profile |
| 13 |
if that file exists, so there should be no need for such a hack. If you |
| 14 |
insert "bash-specific" commands to this file, you may get error-messages, |
| 15 |
if you use some other shell that reads /etc/profile (for example ash, sash |
| 16 |
or ksh). Please don't do such things like inserting something like source |
| 17 |
~/.bash_profile in /etc/profile. /etc/profile should not be bash-specific |
| 18 |
in any way. |
