Marcel, I don't have a RH box in front of me just now, but I seem to recall that bash has an environment variable that indicates the shell's "level". So if not level zero, then don't run the script. HTH -----Original Message----- From: Marcel [mailto:linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 5:10 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Linux Login Script Hi I have a little script which should be executed every time a new user logs in into a Red Hat 7.3 system, or every time one logs out (doesn't matter). In the moment, I put it to /etc/bashrc. It works, but there is no sense to start the script every time I open a new shell. Is there another file which I can use instead of /etc/bashrc? Thanks for your help!
