Install better ls, du, and df tools in 10.3
It's always fun to see UNIX gearheads try to teach us MAC geeks how to do something fun. The down side is, that Mac OS X does NOT function like other UNIXes. .profile for bash will do nothing. The correct file is .bash_profile in user/home (cd ~). PLEASE don't confuse us poor folks (Wink).

actually, .profile works fine. I use it in my home directory without incident. MacOSX works remarkably similar (in some cases exactly) like a BSD variant.

...Having said that... :) .bash_profile is read before .profile.... so if you have both, .bash_profile gets the nod if Bash finds it there.

The way bash handles initialisation is the same under OS X and Linux. Read man bash, in particular the section headed INVOCATION, to see which initialisation scripts are used in which circumstances. |
