Hi,

I have compiled and installed gnu emacs from source (I am not using
Aquamacs or EmacsForMac), however, when I run M-x ansi-term, it does not
run my .profile script (Mac doesn't use .bashrc). How can I setup the
ansi-term to run my .profile for each bash shell it runs? I typically have
multiple ansi-shells.

I also do something like this to make spawning ansi-shells and renaming
them easier:

(defun aterm (buffer-name)
  "Start a terminal and rename buffer."
  (interactive "sbuffer name: ")
  (ansi-term "/bin/bash")
  (rename-buffer buffer-name t))

Thanks much,
Jai

You're used to the fact that the default terminal emulator on OS X starts a
login shell; you'll get the behavior you want by ensuring that bash is
invoked with the "--login" switch.  No straightforward way to do that that
I see, but I don't use this functionality.  One way would be to redefine
the function ansi-term so that it passes the proper parameter to
term-ansi-make-term.   (BTW, it looks like you can just pass the desired
buffer name as an argument to ansi-term, rather than renaming after that
fact.)

Thanks for the reply. The weird thing is, when I do it on a Linux machine,
I don't have this problem: when invoking ansi-term, it executes the script
automagically. I'm just at a loss as to how to do it on the Mac.

Thanks.
