Hi all, Questions are numbered 1 2 and 3.
I want to configure $PATH and other environment variables and I find that in /etc/profile I have: PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/kde3/bin EDITOR=emacs HISTSIZE=1000 export EDITOR PATH HISTSIZE And when I open a terminal I have (doing $ set RET): HISTSIZE=500 PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin However nothing in .bashrc changes the value of these variables, and in .bash_profile I have PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin which makes sense because I set at the end of PATH, but why has /usr/X11R6/bin dissapeared? After browsing the web i think the answer is because I don't 'source' /etc/profile in .bashrc yes, did it and now /usr/X11R6/bin is in the path. and what about HISTSIZE? the following looks into /etc and subdirectories (including init.d) [root@brunos etc]# grep -r HISTSIZE * grep: aliases: No such file or directory grep: gtk/gtkrc.vi: No such file or directory profile:HISTSIZE=1000 profile:export HISTCONTROL HISTSIZE profile~:HISTSIZE=1000 profile~:export HISTCONTROL HISTSIZE grep: sgml/dsssl.cat: No such file or directory zshrc:export HISTSIZE=1000 [root@brunos etc]# and at home [br@brunos br]$ grep HISTSIZE * [br@brunos br]$ 1-any hint about other configuration files I should check in order to find where HISTSIZE is set to 500? 2-do have programs executed from the desktop have a different environment from those executed in the konsole? 3-if answer is yes, how can I see what the environment for the desktop is? hope i was clear enough. any help is welcome bruno __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
