This is opposite to my intuition, since I always used to think that the .login file can be used for setting up some prerequisited useful for a whole login session, like some environment variables. And therefore also possible to use them in the .chshrc file, for setting up a sub shell. Can someone explain to me why it's not done like? Thanks in advance.
