I'd like to have several commands get executed every time a particular user successfully logs in via an ssh or locally. I'm sure there's a dot file I can edit to accomplish this? Thanks for the info! |

It depends on the shell. For sh, the file would be .profile ; For bash, it's .bashrc ; for c-shell, it's .cshrc To find out which shell you're running, use the 'ps' command. You'll see something like this: brad@mythtv:~$ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 4989 ttyp0 00:00:00 sh 4998 ttyp0 00:00:00 ps brad@mythtv:~$ So, I'm running 'sh', so the file I want is .profile |

Not quite... sh (aka Bourne Shell) always looks for ~/.profile, however, bash looks for ~/.bash_profile first, and if that's not found it looks for ~/.profile. There is nothing built in that uses ~/.bashrc. That's only a convention established in you .bash_profile or .profile file, either by setting BASH_ENV or explicitly sourcing or dotting in the file. Both shells also fall back on /etc/profile if no local file is found. Reading the bash man page and/or info pages will provide more details: Code: man bash
info bash |

My mistake -- looking back, I don't remember whether I was on my Knoppmyth box, Kubuntu box or some other Unix system. Different distributions sometimes use different conventions, but tjc is correct -- there is a "one true way" that they all follow. Nice catch! Brad |
