Having worked with AIX fairly recently, I was under the impression that ~/.env was merely a common value for the ENV environment variable, which is a shell script that plays the same role for Korn shell (and possibly POSIX sh) as ~/.bashrc does for Bash. This page seems to support that interpretation: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_71/com.ibm.aix.osdevice/env_file.htm%23env_file?lang=en http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_71/com.... On the other hand, I think /etc/environment on Linux (not sure about AIX) and ~/.pam_environment are not shell scripts.
