Data How to add a variable to the "path"
Hello,

I am new to this board and I have several questions:

For two days now I've been trying to add a variable to my "path" -- without any success. What I want to do is add the path for my MySQL database to my "path" so I can access it from anywhere. Why is this such a hard thing to do in UNIX? Everybody recommends something else. WHERE do I have to add the path. Is the file called ".bash-profile" or ".cshrs" or ".shrs" or ".profile" or what? And, if you can give me an ultimate answer to my question, where exactly is this file located on the system?

I have been a computer science student at uni for 3 years now, but nothing has ever caused me so much trouble. Such an easy task, but so hard to do, so many possible combinations!! Why??

Can anybody tell me how to do it?

aa-genprof

AA-GENPROF(8)							     AppArmor							     AA-GENPROF(8)

NAME

       aa-genprof - profile generation utility for AppArmor

SYNOPSIS

       aa-genprof <executable> [-d /path/to/profiles]

OPTIONS

       -d --dir /path/to/profiles

	  Specifies where to look for the AppArmor security profile set.
	  Defaults to /etc/apparmor.d.

DESCRIPTION

       When running aa-genprof, you must specify a program to profile.	If the specified program is not a fully-qualified path, aa-genprof will
       search $PATH in order to find the program.

       If a profile does not exist for the program, aa-genprof will create one using aa-autodep(1).

       Genprof will then:

	  - set the profile to complain mode

	  - write a mark to the system log

	  - instruct the user to start the application to
	    be profiled in another window and exercise its functionality

       It then presents the user with two options, (S)can system log for entries to add to profile and (F)inish.

       If the user selects (S)can or hits return, aa-genprof will parse the complain mode logs and iterate through generated violations using
       aa-logprof(1).

       After the user finishes selecting profile entries based on violations that were detected during the program execution, aa-genprof will
       reload the updated profiles in complain mode and again prompt the user for (S)can and (D)one. This cycle can then be repeated as necessary
       until all application functionality has been exercised without generating access violations.

       When the user eventually hits (F)inish, aa-genprof will set the main profile, and any other profiles that were generated, into enforce mode
       and exit.
