I found the initialization file that changes all the $PATHS on the terminal, it's:
usr/share/tcsh/examples/login
The other file I mentioned first is by the Fink Project, so, only Fink users will have, but this one (login) ships with every mac, and is invoked by ~/.login ... I'll paste it's content here:
## # LOGIN FILE # # Wilfredo Sanchez Jr. | [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Dec. 5, 1990 # # MIT Project Athena # # ORIGINAL SOURCES: /usr/athena/lib/login # and /usr/prototype_user/.login (ATHENA REL 7.2) ##
## # Set paths ## set path = ( \ ~/bin \ /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin \ /usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin \ )
if ($?version) then if ("$version" =~ tcsh*) then set path = ( "~/bin/${MACHTYPE}-${VENDOR}-${OSTYPE}" $path ) endif endif
setenv MANPATH "${HOME}/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man"
if (-r "${tcsh_initdir}/path") source "${tcsh_initdir}/path"
## # Read user's login ## if (-r "${tcsh_initdir}/login.mine") then source "${tcsh_initdir}/login.mine" endif

Revolution allows you to retrieve certain environment variables. If you open the Variable Watcher, at the top you will see the listed, beginning with $.
However, the same discrepancy occurs with the $PATH variable:
in Terminal: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
in Rev's VW: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/sarah
Sarah,
could this be because Terminal might be fiddling with $PATH when it starts. Like the Terminal is a sandboxed app, it runs in it own space, it launches .profile and maybe others initialization scripts when it starts. $PATH is a variable that is set when the system starts and might be affect by gazilions of scripts everywhere in Unix-space, I never trust it to be pointing where I want it to point, that why I like using absolute paths and not trusting $PATH to contain what I want.
I just noticed that in my home folder of my MacOS X theres a invisible .cshrc (thats invoked when terminal starts) that invokes another fella called /sw/bin/init.csh which has the following piece of text description:
# define append_path and prepend_path to add directory paths, e.g. PATH, MANPATH
so, this script is written in csh code, thus, unreadable by me, but it does some juggling with arguments and makes many changes to my $PATH and $MANPATH vars...
I guess if you all look into your home folders you'll find similar hidden script files. And that explain why terminal $PATH is different from Rev $PATH...
Cheers andre
Cheers, Sarah
