If you want to see which directory you cd'd to in your command prompt, add the following to your .profile (or in /etc/profile for everyone) :

Code:
PS1='$PWD" # "'

So if you are in your home directory, you'll see:

/home/naresh #

and you cd to unixinfo, your prompt will change to:

/home/naresh/unixinfo #

Note: this command form works in ksh (my shell of preference for over a decade) . If you are using another shell, the syntax may be different or not work.

rpccp_remove_profile

remove profile(1m)														remove profile(1m)

NAME

       remove profile - Removes all profile elements and the profile from the specified name service entry

SYNOPSIS

       rpccp remove profile  profile-entry-name [-s syntax]

OPTIONS

       Indicates  the  name  syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default name
       syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary.

ARGUMENTS

       name.

DESCRIPTION

       The  remove  profile  command  removes a profile (and all of its elements) from the name service database. The entry name of the profile is
       required.

   Privilege Required
       You need write permission to the CDS object entry (the target profile entry).

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLES

       The following  commands	run  RPCCP  and  remove  the  profile  named  /.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile:  $  rpccp  rpccp>  remove  profile
       /.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile

RELATED INFORMATION
