Ah yes, so it did, absolutely correct Smilie !

-- edit --

Hold on actually, I think it should be:

Code:
sed 's|export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin|export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/jdk/jdk1.8.0_60|' .profile

or
Code:
sed 's|export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin|&:/usr/jdk/jdk1.8.0_60|' .profile

or perhaps even
Code:
sed 's|export PATH=.*|&:/usr/jdk/jdk1.8.0_60|' .profile
