Of course. The sh shell doesn't have setenv. > man setenv is useless. The manual entry of setenv can be found in "man csh". :-) > The question is how do I set a environment variable using the default > freebsd shell? You mean: FreeBSD's default scripting shell. :-) $ PKGDIR="/usr/packages" $ export PKGDIR or $ export PKGDIR="/usr/packages" Refer to "man sh" for details. The setenv command is a built-in for the C Shell. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
