bashrc Setup

Preamble

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.

When an interactive login shell exits, or a non-interactive login shell executes the exit builtin command, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.

When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.

Setup

To ensure that your .bashrc is sourced correctly you need to add the following to ~/.bash_profile

# include .profile if it exists
[[ -f ~/.profile ]] && . ~/.profile

# include .bashrc if it exists
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

Usage

Assuming you have followed the setup above you will be able to connect to the clusters directly using;

ssh eri

And if you have a prompt and other commands set they should now be visible.
