[Manuales]

Hi ...
what is the profile that uses ksh?

.cshrc
.exrc
.login
.profile
.rhosts
.sh_history

what kind of shell uses above profiles shown?

thaks.

[A. Clay Stephenson · Accepted solution]

ksh, borne shell, and POSIX shell use .profile.

csh uses .cshrc then uses .login only on inital login.

The others are not shell profiles so your question really is not a good fit for these.

.exrc --- initialization file for vi editor
.rhosts --- used for remote user authenication by 'r' commands (remsh, rexec, rcp, ...)

.sh_history is a shell history file
