It's been a minute since I actually did anything really extensive with 
this, since I primarily use zsh, so bear with me if I have the wrong 
information here. As I remember things though, .bash_profile runs every 
time a bash shell starts, .bashrc runs only when the shell is an 
interactive shell, and .bash_login runs only when the shell is a login 
shell, i.e. either started at login time or via su using the single dash 
(-) option or sudo -i. I do hope I have the right information and that 
it helps.
