    What .bash_profile is run depends upon the user id that the script is running under. ~ == user's home directory. If you need a particular profile script loaded in an rc file, then source it directly in the script.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Using root as the user but...

    The root is the user that run the rc scripts, and user root have ~/.bash_profile.
    But still the command bash --login -c 'command' will not load the ~/.bash_profile of the root only if you do it from the RC scripts.
    this is the strange issue that I encounter.

    Do you know why its happened?

    That's probably because when the scripts are running, the system is still booting up and not ready for logins yet. As I said, you have to source the scripts directly. Don't try to run bash --login -c <command>
