Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Modifying PATH (LINUX, Ubuntu) Post 302551563 by yazu on Tuesday 30th of August 2011 11:03:16 PM

.profile is executes only on login. You should logout and login. The better way is to add your changes in PATH to .bashrc - it executes every time an interactive shell (bash) starts.

PS: And I could'n read the whole post. Smilie

PSS: Just 5 cents. I have the file ".shrc" where all common commands for all shells are (like export PATH) and source this file in every specific "rc" file - .bashrc, .kshrc, and .zshrc in my case.
