Why doesn't bash read my .bashrc file on startup?

Cygwin FAQ
Your .bashrc is read from your home directory specified by the HOME environment variable. It uses /.bashrc if HOME is not set. So you need to set HOME correctly, or move your .bashrc to the top of the drive mounted as / in Cygwin.

Why doesn't Eterm read my shell profile/rc files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.)?

Eterm.Org -- Frequently-Asked Questions
Eterm DOES NOT read any shell profile/rc file for any shell. Ever. Never has, never will. Neither does any other terminal program. You are confused. When Eterm starts up, it is provided with the environment of its parent process, be it your window manager, your X startup file, your panel/launcher application, or whatever. Eterm, in turn, spawns a subprocess which inherits its environment from Eterm itself. This subprocess is usually a shell, but can be anything you specify with the -e option.

Why is /bin/sh so minimal? Why doesn't FreeBSD use bash or another shell?

Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD 2.X, 3.X and 4.X
The more complicated answer: many people need to write shell scripts which will be portable across many systems. That is why POSIX specifies the shell and utility commands in great detail. Most scripts are written in Bourne shell, and because several important programming interfaces ( make(1), system(3), popen(3), and analogues in higher-level scripting languages like Perl and Tcl) are specified to use the Bourne shell to interpret commands.

E1. Why doesn't read() work with every?

Icon Programming Language FAQ
every s := read() do {...} doesn't loop because read() produces a single value and then fails if resumed. Other "consumer" procedures such as get() and pop() work the same way. Use a while loop with these procedures, and save every for use with generators such as !x or key(T).

How do I let an applet read a file?

Applet Security
Sun's appletviewer allows applets to read files that are named on the access control list for reading. The access control list for reading is null by default, in the JDK.

I'll ask ID software and Microsoft about it and get back to you as soon as possible, or if you know why you can e-mail me(see below).

Can I read my parameters from a file?

Manual
This means that the gaps will be reset and that the alignment you provide will not be considered as an alignment, but as a set of sequences. Please, note that the previous usage supersedes the use of the ?convert flag. Its main advantage is to restrict computation time to the actual library computation. You cannot concatenate these files on their own. You will have to use t_coffee. Assume you want to combine tc_lib1.tc_lib and tc_lib2.tc_lib.

How should I read a file?

Faq - SmartEiffelWiki
In order to read a file, read a character and then use last_character ONLY if if end_of_input has not been reached while reading the character. Before each read (except the very first), you have to test end_of_input, because all read_* procedures require not end_of_input. But why? This require means that if some previous read failed because end of input has been reached, then it is not valid to try to read again. Example: file: TEXT_FILE_READ; file_name: STRING ..

Q45. If I change a timeseries file, why doesn't Rescan *.1D re-read it?

you may have discovered, Rescan *.1D only reads new filenames, and won't re-read data from filenames that it has seen before. This is a feature, not a bug. Really. I recall my thinking at the time, the reason is that when you select a *.1D file to be an ideal, AFNI makes an internal copy of it (this happens at other places, too) - a copy is made because you are allowed to edit the ideal inside AFNI. So if the *.1D file were re-read after it was altered, you'd expect the internal copies (e.g.

Baudline doesn't startup when I restart a session in KDE2. What can I do?

baudline FAQ
The problem is that baudline is not in the KDE2 session manager's search path and KDE2 isn't smart enough to use the embedded XSMP information to find it. Also it appears that the KDE2 session manager doesn't use your standard .login $PATH environment variable so putting baudline in your ~user/bin directory won't work either. Also the dot isn't in the search path even though your root user directory is the current working directory (cwd).
