How to source additional file when launching bash
11:50 27 Nov 2015

Bash will source automatic profiles such as .bashrc. --rcfile option can be used to override the automatic script. But I need to source additional personalized file (that's the automatic script plus another file) when launching the bash shell without touching ANY files in $HOME or /etc directory since $HOME directory belongs to application run user. The personalized file must not be located in $HOME directory. Is this possible?

I tried:

    /bin/bash <

but it returned to the current shell.
