@RichHomolka ` It (~/.bashrc) is run on every bash script run` is untrue. By default, ~/.bashrc is invoked only for interactive non-login shells, and therefore, will not be sourced in a script.

Executed sounds like it's run as a script, fork/exec yadda yadda. It's run in the context of the current shell More importantly, .bashrc is run much more often. It is run on every bash script run, and also if you don't have a .bash_profile. Also, depending how you set up your xterms, you may create a shell that sources .bash_profile | |
