START-UP FILES
====START-UP FILES====
'''Shell configuration (start-up) files''' are '''scripts''' that are run when you log in, log out, or start a new shell.<br>The start-up files can be used, for example, to '''set the prompt and screen display''', '''create local variables''', <br>or create temporary Linux commands ('''aliases''')
The '''/etc/profile''' file belongs to the root user and is the first start-up file that executes when you log in, regardless of shell.
