Organization: Mordor International BBS Date: Fri, 26 Aug 1994 04:02:51 GMT Message-ID: <Cv4J8s.J5x@ritz.mordor.com> Lines: 21 Hi .. When I login for the first time, .login runs automatically (which does all the prompt and alias settings ...etc.), but after I go in, when I try to spawn another shell (by typing "tcsh", which is the same shell that I login to), the .login does NOT run. I get the system prompt, and no defined aliases at all in my new spawned shell. Yet when I exit that and go back to my original login shell, everything is back to normal. So .. my question is .. how do I make the .login run automatically every time I spawn a new shell ?
