Every shell has one. You know, like .bashrc, .profile, etc. What's
plan9port rc's?

It's all there in the manual.

          -l         If -l is given or the first character of argument
                     zero is -, rc reads commands from
                     $home/lib/profile, if it exists, before reading
                     its normal input.

Nothing AFAICT. But, when used as login shell or with -l option, it should
execute on startup the command . $home/lib/profile...

Something is wrong. I don't wanna compile 20 KB of Go code to list files.

As long as $PLAN9 is shared.
But my conf is to be used in a machine which is single-user, atm.

I don't see any real difference between adding modified versions of my .bashrc
things to rcmain or putting them to $home/lib/profile and editing rcmain to
make it do -l every time rc is launched as an interactive shell. There are a
lot, though. And that may means it will source the file even if I use rc as it
was a scripting language for things that aren't my terminal env.
I just didn't like to wrap rc -l, use win rc -l or launch rc and .
$home/lib/profile (or whatever I would use as alias). So probably I'll use
rcmain in a fashion that would resemble, in part or wholly, .bashrc.

Low space on main HDD, but plenty on external.

the .bashrc lookalike is *not* rcmain. rcmain is the second
phase of the rc virtual machine bootstrapping itself.

the .bashrc lookalike is $home/lib/profile.

YES!! That was it! My plan9home directory didn't contain a bin folder; that
was somewhere else. When I symlinked it there, it worked! Thank you!

make sure $PLAN9/bin is in front in your PATH.  try this:

BIGASSBASHPROMPT$ 9 rc -i

Thank you!

However, I think rc now hates me for some reason. :/ Watch:

ryan@DevPC-LX:~$ rc # works normally
% echo "Hello, world!"
"Hello, world!"
% ryan@DevPC-LX:~$
ryan@DevPC-LX:~$ export PLAN9=$HOME/stuff/plan9home
ryan@DevPC-LX:~$ cat $PLAN9/rcmain # rcmain is empty
ryan@DevPC-LX:~$ rc # does nothing??
ryan@DevPC-LX:~$ echo $?
0
ryan@DevPC-LX:~$

rc -v does nothing, either. If I unset $PLAN9, things work again.

Well, punch me in the face and call me Suzanne!
That changes everything, because absence of a .bashrc
lookalike was the thing that prevented me from using
rc for everyday shell needs. But I never investigated a lot.

[sl]

Take a look at $PLAN9/rcmain.
