How to add path to root user
i created file .bash_profile and kept in root's home directory.
then i executed the file,after that the following path got added.
Code:
/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/opt/ubersvn:ubersvn/bin:.

but i trying to execute the command
Code:
svn help

but its not executing
if i maually exported means its working.

after i login again,it showing previous path only.
Code:
/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin

so its not executing automatically for every login also
if i execute manually then path getting added
but no use with that path

so what you think on this

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.
