What is your default shell? &nbsp;It would have to be ksh in order for the .kshrc to process. &nbsp;You can find out what shell you are running once you are logged in by executing the command, whodo. &nbsp;You should see output like the following.<br />
[root@server1 /]# whodo<br />

pts/1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;user &nbsp; &nbsp; 10:16<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; pts/1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;934 &nbsp; &nbsp;0:00 sh<br />

I appreciate the points. But, why only a grade of C? Was there something I didn't explain well enough? If so let me know what and I will further explain.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I want to run a .kshrc file everytime i login.<br />
I have copied the .kshrc file from my colleague's account.<br />
But the scripts she has written are not executing in my account.<br />
like at the prompt is still remaining <br />
xys% <br />
instead of <br />
myid@hostname in pwd%<br />
<br />
I just thought copying the .kshrc file will do it as on login, it is executed.<br />
<br />
Do i need to do something else too?<br />
<br />
This is Solaris OS. i am connecting remotely from Windows NT using Exceed.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Do i need to do something else too?

How to run .kshrc

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
