Where are the .cshrc or .profile files?

[TerryH]

I am using Suse 10.1 and have just installed a new application.

To complete the installation, the instructions tell me:

"Finally, the script will generate two files, isis_cshrc and isis_profile, in the current working directory. When the script is done, the commands contained in these files should be placed in the users .cshrc or .profile file or in a system-wide startup file."

I do not know whether .cshrc and .profile are supposed to be in the application or are part of Suse. Either way, I can't find them.

Alternatively, it says I can place them in a "system-wide startup file". Can anyone tell me where in the Linux directory system I can find one of these files?

Your .profile should be located in your $HOME directory for the user you are logged in as. Something like /home/userid

You have to use a "-a" to see the "hidden" files. Hidden files start with a "." in Linux.

Thanks Kahoona..I didn't realise they were hidden files. I've found them and inserted them into the script now.

Thanks again,

Terry.
