Yes.
It is called "sourcing". The script runs in the context of the existing process, rather than in a child process. bash and some other envrionments provide the command "source" which does the same thing as well.
This allows any envrionment variable defined in .profile to become part of the calling process envrionment.
Next ex. start new process in line somescript and after child has ended, we return pack to the our main process. Child set own variable A, it's not same as mother's A.
Code:
A=2
echo "$$ $A"
somescript
echo $A
In this example somescript is "included" to the this script = same process, same variables, ....
I have said
. = is include and execute, easy to understand
Code:
A=2
echo "$$ $A"
. somescript
echo $A
So if you run your profile like
.profile
you create child process, give some values for child and process end.
But
. .profile
you run .profile in your process, so you change/add variables and so on.
