Operating Systems AIX Do not allow bypassing users .profile Post 302937175 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 4th of March 2015 05:26:10 AM

You still have to stop them using ftp, sftp, scp, etc. as they you remotely modify it and replace the version you have created.

If it is a common thing that you want them all to run, I'd follow the suggestion from Jim and put something in /etc/profile instead.

If you don't want everyone to run it, then have it conditional on the primary group or some other external reference that you can easily adjust. We have the following in ours:-
Code:
GROUP=`id -gn`
if [ -f /usr/local/bin/${GROUP}.start ]
        then
        . /usr/local/bin/${GROUP}.start
fi


I hope that this helps,
Robin

Users who desire to have their .profile executed must explicitly do so in the crontab entry. Why?

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)

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