Re: startxwin started bash does not read .bashrc or .bash_profile

If I put this into .startxwinrc:

mintty /usr/bin/bash.exe --login -i

the resulting shell does not read .bash_profile. If I put

mintty /usr/bin/bash.exe -i

it doesn't read .bashrc.


I've been beating my head against this wall for hours, over a few days. I've googled my ass off, but I can't find anyone that's having the same problem.


My ultimate goal is to use ssh-agent/ssh-add to make life easier, but it requires my .bashrc to be sourced (.bash_profile merely sources .bashrc).


Thanks.



## .bash_profile
if [ -f "${HOME}/.bashrc" ] ; then
  source "${HOME}/.bashrc"
fi

What do you mean? Isn't this enough?
