How to make the script change works for current session window?

[Database Administrator]

Hi,

I have made a change in my .bashrc file, and I would like to work for
my current open window session, in stead of have to close my current
session and relogin again. Can anyone tell me the command to do that
in bash script in Linux/Unix? I searched a few Linux/Unix tutorial but
didn't find it.

Thanks,

There are at least 3 ways to accomplish that:

1. "exec bash" (replaces current with a new bash which
rereads .bashrc)

2. "source .bashrc"

3. ". .bashrc"
