Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users looking for .profile examples Post 18821 by Kelam_Magnus on Wednesday 3rd of April 2002 11:25:13 AM

Please post what you have of your .profile, it will help to figure out why.

Here is a sample from one of my boxes.

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/localcw/sbin:$PATH:/sbin:
export PATH

Sometimes applications will require to modify the path and have an entry like this.


PATH=$PATH:$USERHOME/bin
export USERHOME

USERHOME contains the user's home directory

So that executable files in the Admin's home directory under sub directory bin will be seen by root's PATH variable.
