The man page for each shell should have what you need. If you're running the bash shell, type: man bash and search for the INVOCATION section For an interactive bash login shell (therefore what you start when you log in), profiles are read in the following order: /etc/profile ~/.bash_profile (which should call up ~/.bashrc) ~/.bash_login ~/.profile if the files exist.
