When does SSH use interactive or non-interactive bash?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When executing remote commands via ssh like:

# ssh <server> <command>

the settings specified in ~/.bash_profile are not executed.

As an example: when initiating a SIGABRT signal for an application that was started via ssh to the server, coredumps are generated despite having a core dump size limit configured in ~/.bash_profile
