I thought that ~/.profile runs after /etc/profile, and thus takes precedence. So if you export $PATH, that's the value you should see.

The PATH in STDOUT came from my .profile. The profile in STDERR does not match the PATH from /etc/profile and there is no etc/suid_profile. So where *is* he getting that bad PATH? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. STDERR /bin:/usr/lpp/java/J1.4_64/bin/:/u/#T95JXB/scripts: FSUM7351 not found STDOUT /bin/:/usr/sbin/:/usr/lpp/java/J8.0_64/bin/:/u/#T95JXB/scripts/ Best regards, Jon Bathmaker z/OS Systems Programmer 519-577-9661 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
