| What I do is I have my login shell set to bash. So, in the Startup tab, I have the default selected (/usr/bin/login) which uses bash as my login shell.
The files that bash reads at startup are listed in the man page. If you want it to use .bashrc for an interactive shell, then allow Terminal to start bash normally as a login shell.
The "Run command" option in the shell tab I'm guessing is to run a command when the terminal window opens. The "run in shell" option probably means to have the command run in your shell after it's started and after it's read /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc. It is lame that the Terminal help doesn't describe the option, as far as I can tell. |
