- Why is this a BIG mistake? If this behaviour isn't the default and I want
- it to happen, I have to mess with various things to get my .bashrc sourced.
-
- If the .bashrc is known to be sourced, I can do things like checking PS1 to
- see if I am interactive.
-
- If I run `rsh host ls', then I want to know which `ls' I am running by
- getting *my* PATH at the remote end.
