    Sorry. I couldn't help myself

    .bashrc is a hidden file called .bashrc, if a filename begins with a . it is hidden.

    Or it could simply mean "Bloody Awful Syntax Has Rushed Construction"

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    If I was being serious, I would suggest something like bash run commands as it is where the bash defaults are.

    That's just a guess though

    Now that we're on the subject, I have wondered the same thing many times.

    I know .bashrc's purpose in life of course, but what does the 'rc' stand for?? I believe it's the same 'rc' as in the rc.d/ directories or rc.$service scripts in Slackware and alikes...

    Anyone knows what 'rc' stands for?

    "rc" stands for "run commands".

    Thanks And now that I have read your answer, I can see how I overlooked the answer to my question that was already given in this thread
