Operating Systems Solaris Not Able to Set the path Post 302240558 by smartgupta on Friday 26th of September 2008 04:29:48 AM
Old 09-26-2008
I tried everything which you mentioned ( for all users as well as for one user) but I am not able to set the required path..
I am giving the o/p of both

1)After modifying in /etc/profile

PATH=$PATH:/envs/mldev/tools:/envs/mldev/common/tools:/home/Emerson:/software/Perforce:/usr/j2se:/usr/j2se/bin:/usr/j2se/lib
export PATH

then output is :
# pwd
/
# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# env | grep PATH
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

2)I set the path in .profile in my home dir
# pwd
/home/user1
in .profile,I add the required path(in bold )

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc:.
PATH=$PATH:/envs/mldev/tools:/envs/mldev/common/tools:/home/Emerson:/software/Perforce:/usr/j2se:/usr/j2se/bin:/usr/j2se/lib
export PATH

and when I use
# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

I am surprised why path is not being set ?????
Can any1 Please help me to fix it..

One more thing How can I check whether export keyword is working or not??

Thanks in advance..
