.profile is not run on startup

[xpanta]

Hi,

For some reason my ~/.profile script is not run after startup and I need to do a "source .profile" the first time I start a terminal.

How can I solve this?

(I have done a chmode 755 to my profile script).

This is my script:

Code: Select all

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
	. "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Dropbox/workspace/
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

I also would like to know the answer to this as i'm having the same problem!

My ~/.profile file:

Code: Select all

# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
	. "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

and as for permissions:

Code: Select all

~$ dir -d .profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 a a 675 May 18 07:06 .profile

$HOME/bin is the first field in $PATH, therefore I conclude ~/.profile is working. Do you have ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login files?
