If you are using an X-based window manager it is possible to open a terminal window without executing the shell initialisation files. If this is the case, make sure that you are either using the -ls option to start it, or that it has the loginShell resource set.<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
