Re: [SLE] .profile > when?

I have a quick question, exactly when does /etc/profile and ~/.profile get executed?

For login shells.

Will it happen when I login through a ssh prompt remotely?

Yes.

And if so, is there any way I can stop things from running remotely?

What things?

Even better, is there a good source online of what files the shell etc executes at startup, login and logout.

The man page for your shell should explain it. -- -ckm
