Re: How do I permanently set the PATH variable ?
if you mean permanant as in next time you login, you have to set it in your login script. It's .bashrc or you can edit /etc/profile and add it there, making it global to all users. - Original Message - From: ethan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 9:45 PM Subject: How do I permanently set the PATH variable ?

Aliases are set in ~/.bashrc. - Basically all are loaded when you login The sequence is (at least on my RH 62 and 72 sys): /etc/profile ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc /etc/bashrc Now .bash_profile actually calls .bashrc prior to anything else if it exists. Also .bashrc calls /etc/bashrc prior to anything else it does if it exists. However, back to your PATH questions. What I don't understand is how the PATH statements gets set prior to login in and the /etc/profile gets called. If you look in /etc/profile one of the first commands is: on 62 sys -- PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin on 72 sys -- if root (uid of 0) PATH=/sbin:$PATH PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH PATH=/usr/local/sbin:$PATH PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin Now if you put a echo $PATH prior to any commands and login it echos the following: on 62 sys -- users - /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin root - /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin on 72 sys -- users - /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin root - /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:4/usr/sbin:/usr/bin which tells me that the path is set somewhere prior to the call to profile. I've look around and have not found where this default path for users and root gets set --note that changing them is probably not good idea--, but these are the things that I have found because I like to know things down at this level. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

You could do it in /etc/profile, have a look at how paths are manipulated there. Anything done there is system wide. Probably better would be to do it in $HOME/.bash_profile. - -D - -- pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt - -- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8BHGVeMAUbzJhSVcRAnkXAKCL1cEk+/e7Py17eSUcqe/yMPQ3bACgtugq 7Sc6JwrrCISIhiRA8dKqU38= =q/PW -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
