Also, your (custom modified) $PATH looks VERY limited, will it find find, ls, grep, awk or even your shell?
With that $PATH, it wont find any of these, if they are at their regular locations. (edit: scratch that, just seen you had /bin, though, that might - but not granted - contain all the binaries required)
For the future, try:
Note the + before the =!
AFAIK, its a bad habbit to 'overwrite' $HOME with a custom location such as /home/execs/testing.
I'd recomend to set a new/other variable, and call it like, BASE or base or even more appropriate: WORKDIR=/home/execs/testing.
hth
sea is absolutely correct about not messing with HOME.
While += works in some shells, it doesn't work on some. (For example, /bin/sh on Solaris systems won't accept it.) The standard way to do it (supported by all shells based on Bourne shell syntax) would be:
Note that the trailing slashes aren't needed; any element in the list of directories in PATH that isn't a directory will fail when attempting to add a command name to it anyway.
If you were writing a shell script (or a C program) that is intended to run with set-UJID or set-GID privileges and your program runs anything not using an absolute pathname to invoke it, then you should provide a PATH variable that is know to find the "desired" version of any programs invoked (not something that could spoof a "standard" utility and grab extended privileges for use later), but that is a much more complicated topic that clearly does not apply to this script.
Hi,
I have a file with about 60 lines of path:
app-defaults/boxXYZ.......
I want to change this to /my/path/goes/here/app-defaults/boxXYZ, but of course vi doesn't like the regualr :s/old/new/ command.
Is there any other quick way to do this?
Thanks ;) (2 Replies)

I do know how we set the PATH variable-
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
I'm trying to understand why we have written :$PATH in the end above statement. What is it's meaning? (2 Replies)
