Adding commands to your .profile

Practice adding commands to your .profile. Edit the file and add the following echo command to the last line of the file:

   echo Good Morning! I am ready to work for you.

Whenever you make changes to your .profile and you want to initiate them in the current work session, you may cause the commands in .profile to be executed directly, using the ``.'' (dot) shell command. The shell reinitializes your environment by executing the commands in your .profile. Try this now. Type:

   . .profile

   Good Morning! I am ready to work for you.
   $
