knc1 -- I don't see why it should be problematic to want to avoid extra typing. Does the average linux distro expect users to manually source their .profile/bashrc/etc? No, so why should it be any different on the Kindle...
If it cannot be done, then that is a shame and perhaps it will need to be done manually... but it isn't at all unreasonable to check!
Or are you saying you manually source setup scripts every single time you open a shell on your computer, out of some atavistic desire to prove your CLI powers?
@tamr -- I don't think there is really any good way to do that on the Kindle, but you could
build it into your ssh connection, e.g. :
Code:
ssh -t root@kindle 'source /mnt/us/my_startup_script.sh; sh -i'
Or ideally mechanize it in your ~/.ssh/config
Because scripting was designed to ease repetitive busywork.
