I go back and forth on my feeling about terseness, abbreviations and 3 letter acronyms. 3LA are almost always annoying, specially since they overlap so much.
In source code sometimes a longer name really helps, but then some people take it to the extreme and make everything look pretty ugly and tedious to work with.
In this case, I guess it would not had been that bad to name the files `.bash.runcommands`. `.bourne-again-shell.run-commands`: maybe too much :-)
