Hi

How do I do this :
        When ever I type "bash" on the command prompt, insted of executing the
".bashrc" file I want it to execute some othe file of my choice.

        This can be achived in Kork-shell by setting the environment variable
"ENV" to the file that you want to execute in lieu of ".kshrc". But I
want to know how It can be achived in bash.

Thanks.

See 'man bash'.

bash --rcfile <filename>
that might be, what you want.

If you can't file a clue in the man page (ALWAYS READ
THE MAN PAGE FIRST), you could replace .bashrc with a
link (hard or symbolic) to the file of your choice. But
why in hell do you want to do this? Why are you
prejudiced against the name .bashrc? :=)

Hi,

    As described in 'man bash', ENV works the same as in ksh... My bash
is version 1.14.7
