Terminal Login not reading .profile

[DireWolfjm]

Hi all,
I am running SCO UnixWare 7.1, my question is this:
How can I ensure that the KSH .profile script is read when opening a terminal window from the (gui) desktop? That is not happening right now and I need it to.


Thanks,
John M

Hi,
There are lots of profiles & rc files:
/etc/profile
/home/user_dir/.profile
/home/user_dir/.kshrc
If you are interested that .kshrc which is the run control file of Y ksh shell , was executed why
don't you put some echo " Bal bla" at the end of file
You should see when you open a new shell.
