Hmmm, I am failing to see the relevance of your reply. Perhaps you 
were thinking that .bashrc is only used for login shells? No, it's 
for interactive NON-login shells, per bash(1) manual, INVOCATION:

"When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash  
reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists."

Okay, so there is relevance, but probably not what you thought. :) 

SBo recommends the use of login shells, so indeed my reference to 
/root/.bashrc was incorrect. (IWFM because I source .bashrc from 
my ~/.profile file.) A better place for OUTPUT might be in 
"/root/.bash_login".
