Also set it in your .bash_profile

As a general rule .bashrc will be invoked when you spawn
a new shell (a sub-process) and open a new x window.


man bash
     When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as  a
     non-interactive  shell  with  the  --login  option, it first
     reads and executes commands from the file  /etc/profile,  if
     that  file  exists.   After  reading that file, it looks for
     ~/.bash_profile,  ~/.bash_login,  and  ~/.profile,  in  that
     order,  and  reads  and executes commands from the first one
     that exists and is readable.  The --noprofile option may  be
     used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.
 
     When a login shell exits, bash reads and  executes  commands
     from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.
 
     When an interactive shell that  is  not  a  login  shell  is
     started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if
     that file exists.  This may be inhibited by using the --norc
     option.   The  --rcfile  file option will force bash to read
     and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.

|Subject: setting options in bash
|
|
|Hi all
|
|I seem to be having problem setting options in bash.
|
|basically I want bash to behave like ksh with vi as a line editor
|I am using following command:
|$ set -o vi
|
|to set the vi as an editor.
|
|I have tried to put this in the .bashrc file but I do not
|get the result as with the command executed from the prompt.
|
|Is there a way to automate the process of setting the
|command editing without me typing it every time I log in??
|
|Thanks
|
|
