I run Emacs in the daemon mode as a user's systemd unit. However it won't read my environment variables. How to make it import my .bashrc first?
I have multiple paths added in there and want to be able to use them in Emacs (but I don't want to maintain both .bashrc and .emacs by adding them to exec-path).

Can you please tell use more about what you want to achieve?– Nsukami _Nov 29, 2015 at 21:47

You're probably looking for the package exec-path-from-shell. Once it's installed, put this in your .emacs:
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize)
for emacs to read .bashrc on startup. That way you won't have to maintain paths in two places.

This does not seem to work when I put it in my
init.elfile. Is the.emacsfile a requirement? (That would make it hard to VCS my~/.emacs.dJun 15, 2016 at 21:56 -
When I wanted to put Emacs' socket into my encrypted $HOME, I had to put the definition TMPDIR="$HOME/tmp;export TMPDIR" in my $HOME/.profile file, so an early shell would see the definition and pass it in Emacs' ENVIRONMENT.
