Is there any way to refresh the session(for the profile file changes get reflect) in putty?

I am tired of closing reopening putty.

Thanks,

if you have made changes to your local .profile . ~/.profile will cause it to be processed in the current shell.

That assumes you are in ksh I suppose. If you are in another shell then you may have to do something slightly different.

Bash:
Code:
$ . ~/.bash.profile

Csh:
Code:
% source ~/.login

Read the manual page for you shell and see which files are called when you start the shell to make sure you get the right one and the right way to call it.
