RE: Problems with QSH and running the environment script in the.profile

The .profile file itself is not executed when the CMD parameter is specified
as other than *NONE.

See
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/info/rzahz/commands.htm
which states:  "Note that qsh does not run any profile files when started to
run a command."

HTH,
Gary
