I'm looking for some 'well documented' .profile examples
|

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, |

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.

I think it may be a permissions problem. Are you sure that you can execute the file in /usr/sbin?
What are its permissions? Are you just at user level or "root" when you try to execute this command? When I look at my own /usr/sbin, there are several files that don't have world executable set. Also, it looks as though the second PATH at the bottom contains all of the directories that the first one has. I would comment out the first one with a # sign. Then log out and log back in. I think you would be better served by this. In addition, I would take out the . after the $PATH: That can be a problem for security, but I don't think that is related to your problem. Your problem is either a PATH problem or a permissions problem. Try that and let me know. it looks like you have HPUX. Here are some alias commands that I have setup. # list of my aliases alias dir='ls -la' alias lt='ls -lt' alias lrt='ls -lrt' alias pp='ps -aef|grep' alias lsfg='lsf |grep '\/'' Hope this helps.

Unfortunately we're currently on a Data General w/plans for a new server in place s/b within next 2 months. Accessing from windows 200 platform.
When I try to run the command w normal logon this is the result $ dg_system -g hardware UX:ksh: ERROR: dg_system: not found $ if I cd to the correct directory it runs fine. is the syntax PATH=entry:entry:$PATH export PATH PATH= to get started : to seperate directory paths $PATH to end statement export to run command ----- Terminal type issue. w/ current .profile I receive this error tput: unknown terminal "vt420" after entering below things work OK TERM=vt100 export TERM ---- after initial logon I must run stty erase <backspace> to get backspace to work properly ---- I also remember some helpful aliases that would allow 2 up, 4up,... printing. Do you use any of that? ---- Thanks for your help. Things are starting to work. |
