Hi Franklin,
As you suggested . ./.profile should is enough.
but here the users now have a new .profile and I am trying to source their older .profile by reaching to their older home directory.
username=`who am i | awk '{print $1}'`
cd ~$username
. ./.profile
When I execute this script now, it shows no error but i cannot access my older aliases and ENV.
Instead if i type cd <user's old home directory> and . ./.profile in command prompt I am able to get the old profile back to action.
The challenge is I need a script so that send it to every user to run and I cannot ask them to execute it every time they login.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

I'm attempting to setup rootsh on Solaris 10 to log the activity of users who require root access. However it does not appear to be sourcing root's .profile file even when run with the '-i' option. I was wondering if anybody else has run into this and might have a solution.

The .profile file should be read when the user logs in. So, there should be no need to execute .profile file again in a cron job (since the cron job is run after the user logs in). Doesn't the cron require login from the user. Then, from where does the cron execute? Please help!! (1 Reply)

NAME

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

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
