I believe it's correct to assume that the invocation
of bash via ssh is a login shell, not an interactive 
shell.  Cygwin puts its path additions in /etc/profile.
The corallary for a user would be ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile
or ~/.bash_login as the INVOCATION section of the bash man page
suggests.

Subject: Bash PATH via ssh


Hello, first post.

From a remote machine I'm doing something like:

    ssh 192.168.0.150 'echo $PATH'

All the path appears to be set to is the Windows system path. I've put path
amendments into /.bashrc and ~/.bashrc. As well as in the bash.bashrc files
in /etc.  Where do I put the path statements so they have effect when
invoked from ssh so I can get things like /bin into the path?

(I've read man bash invocation and searched the mailing list archives.)

Thanks,
Michael
