Is there a way to reload your profile without have to restart MSH? I tried
dot executing it but I got errors. I having been customizing my profile a
lot lately and having to restart the shell is getting old.

Also, what's up with this name:
Microsoft.Management.Automation.msh_profile.msh? It is a bit much don't you
think? What's wrong with just a simple, short name like uh, say
"profile.msh"?

Hi Keith,

Well, since it seems to be my day for giving out links to other
people's blogs... :-)

Check out Thomas Lee's "Under the Stairs" blog at
http://tfl09.blogspot.com/ - about half way down the (long!) page
there's a good explanation of the whole profile thing in an article
called, appropriately, "Customising Monad via Profile files". I found
it very useful and I'm now happy with the way I have my profile set up
configured :-)

Good luck
Chris

We expect that there will be more than just one shell based on monad - we
wanted a way to have specific shells find specific profiles - so profile.msh
will get picked up by all shells but
microsoft.management.automation.msh_profile.msh will only get sourced by the
shell with $shellid -eq microsoft.management.automation.msh.

we know it's a handfull to type, so just use $profile ^_^

That helps explain about the funky naming scheme but I don't see anything
about the issue of reloading your profile within the same shell.

Thanks,

What errors are you getting? Does your profile creates some constant or
readonly variables, aliases, or functions?

I've changed the default profile to dot-source my "real" profile in
another folder. To re-run the profile in the same session I just type
". path\profile.msh" - works fine

I do this:

remove-item alias:dir

because I define my own dir function. It seems that it doesn't like to do
this again. So I changed it to:

remove-item alias:dir -ea SilentlyContinue

and it doesn't error. Although I notice the changes are additive only. If
I remove something from my profile that isn't reflected after I dot source
it - not that I would expect that to happen knowing how dot sourcing works.
It just makes me wonder if there is a "dump and reload" profile mechanism.
Just curious as dot sourcing gets me most of what I want.
