[ale] how to get bash to run .bash_profile?Re: [ale] how to get bash to run .bash_profile?

[cfowler]

You've got to tell bash to run like it is logging in

You can do this 2 ways.

1) bash --login

or from C in case you need to:

2) execl("/bin/bash", "-sh", 0);

The key is the -sh in that statement above.
