Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users looking for .profile examples Post 18820 by JimC on Wednesday 3rd of April 2002 11:14:02 AM

for starters in need a definition for syntax for the PATH command. The .profile I have been given had 2 seperate PATH sections (not sure why) and I'm unable to run commands that I know reside in /usr/sbin (even though its listed in the second PATH statement of my current .profile file).

If you can point me to a source online I'd appreciate it. I did a search here and didn't get to much. I'd appreciate any good example that has been documented so I can interpret what has been accomplished with a specific command.

Thanks,
