Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How 2 run same command across all open terminals Post 302520950 by pflynn on Monday 9th of May 2011 08:47:37 PM

It seems that every shell you run is a login shell. Bash reads and executes the ~/.bashrc file only if it is started as an interactive, but not login shell. When Bash starts as an interactive login shell, it reads and executes the ~/.bash_profile file. What you could do is to source the ~/.bashrc file from the ~/.bash_profile file. Something like this:

# .bash_profile
# sourcing .bashrc:

. ~/.bashrc

this way every interactive shell you start will read and execute the ~/.bashrc file, be it a loging shell or not.
