You do not have to log out to re-parse the .bashrc or .bash_profile. All
you need is to re-source them after the chanages. Actually, in Red Hat,
you just need to source the .bash_profile since the latter script runs
.bashrc also.
Example:
#in your home dir
vi .bash_profile
#save the changes such as adding new aliases
source .bash_profile
#there is no need to log-out
