Full Discussion: How do I do ". set -o emacs" so it exists globally

Typically .kshrc is not read upon login unless you source it in your .profile. .bashrc is sourced automatically. Just add the command to your .profile and it'll be started each time you log in no matter how many terminal windows you have.

This is true in AIX, Solaris and HP-UX. Some older versions of Red Hat seem to use .bashrc and others use .profile. I haven't pursued what the difference although I think newer versions are using .profile.

I edited my .bashrc in most of the Red Hat servers I administrated at the time, but a couple of new servers based on AS 4 I believe didn't read the .bashrc files and I had to set up a .profile to set my standard environment variables.
