Re: problem setting the PATH variable.
thanks for the tips .. I don't have experience writing bash scripts, (writing them is torture because I'm always wrong ...;-) ), .I only copied the check of substrings from an example. You was very kind with your suggestions , and I will bring the improvements you suggested me :-). Regarding the use of the condition, , in my opinion this is an excellent solution (because it is practical and really *efficient*) so no matter about how the setup works, Thanks again .

It is conceivable (though in this case unlikely) that your $PATH contains something like: /something/opt/netbeans/java/maven/bin or: /opt/netbeans/java/maven/bin-other-thing and your match would mistakenly thing the path: /opt/netbeans/java/maven/bin was present. Personally I am old school and do this with a case statement (though the same can be applied with [[]]): case ":$PATH:" in *":$newpath:"*) # already present ;; *) PATH=$PATH:$newpath export PATH ;; esac The important thing here isn't case vs [[]], it is the ":" bracketing of $PATH and $newpath to avoid accidentally matching a longer string which just happens to contain $newpath. PATH=$PATH:/opt/netbeans/java/maven/bin Use $newpath here, avoids writing the maven path twice: PATH=$PATH:$newpath export PATH fi But the incantation is being run twice. How that is happening seems worth investigating when you're idle and bored. Elsewhere in the thread someone mentioned some presupplied shell function for adding to $PATH which contains essentially the logic in your if-statement.

problem setting the PATH variable.
hi I have a strange problem ... On my computer "maven" (an IDE for developent in java language) is installed in the directory: "/ opt / netbeans / java / maven / bin / mvn". And I can run it (maven) by giving its full path from the command line. I wanted to modify the PATH variable to use the simple name of the program "mvn". I did it and actually I get this output for the command : --- angelo_dev @ pluto: echo $ PATH: / Usr / share / Modules / bin: / usr / local / bin: / usr / local / sbin: / usr / bin: / usr / sbin: / opt / netbeans / java / maven / bin / mvn. --- However when I use of the mvn command (without specifying its complete value) it does not work, I get this output; --- angelo_dev @ pluto: ~ $ mvn bash: mvn: command not found ... Install package 'maven' to provide command 'mvn'? [N / y] I cannot understand... Can anyone help me understand this problem Thanks Angelo. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
