Re: ~.bashrc

[Travis Owens <openbook@linuxmds.com>]

The function you're looking for is called "sourcing" the file.

It can be done two ways.

1.)    me@home:~>$ source <filename>

2.)    me@home:~>$ . <filename>    (dot {space} filename)

That will scan the file for valid shell syntax and incorporate the
results into your current session.

HTH,
Travis
