What is your login shell? Is the shell you work in different from  
your login shell? Can you prepare your login shell to have an  
environment that contains, just after the moment in which you've  
input your password, all valuable and necessary environment variables?

OK. Can distinguish between interactive and non-interactive goodies?  
I mean: has the shell interpreter, that executes a shell script, to  
know all the shell functions and shell aliases you need for your more  
or less interactive doing?
