Right, even more additionally be aware that if you write in a script to stdout and stderr ( error messages on stderr, the "hitx" on stdout ), the sequence you see on screen is not necessarily the sequence the outputs were initiated. This depends on when which stream will be flushed. Normally I would try a <command> 2>&1 for seeing the true sequence, but I dont know how this works out with su. Eric Wilde Martin wrote:
Hi Patrick,
additionally you might want to make "set -x" at the beginning of /etc/profile - so you will see what commands are executed during your su and you will see which scripts are sourced in what order. As you can see in Armins mail the amount of sourced "profile-files" has increased (though this list is not complete) and obviously still will grow.

Hi Patrick,
When I "su -" I get the following. Putting hooks into my .bash_profile file it does not get to that file, so it reads something before aht too? Tia
nvlnxt21:/etc # su - -bash: listserv:/root: No such file or directory hit0 hit hit2
--> Have a look at ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/profile and any script that is called from within these files.
HTH, Armin
