Thanks for the response RudiC.
In the global environment file, we have all DB credentials, database client path, schema names and all common functions. This profile is set to login profile for User A.
But user B wants to access the /usr/env/global_env.sh in his Unix script, he will just reference it in the shell (. /usr/env/global_env.sh) but this will prompt for the directory selection, I want to suppress the directory prompt when using the profile in shell script by assigning the directory name which I want to log in, before referencing the environment file in the shell script.
So, (1) you are showing the tail end of /usr/env/global_env.sh; (2) User A sources it from his/her profile; (3) User B sources it from their shell script. Is that correct? And when called from the shell script you don't want the select to be executed?
Bash has a special variable $- which will contain the character i if it is interactive. You could test for this with say

I want to select files which have different extensions such as .cpp, .cs, .h
I can select one of them as
find . -name "*.cpp"
but I want to select all of them in one command only. It should be pretty simple but I'm not able to get it. Any help with the command will be greatly appreciated. (1 Reply)

profile - setting up an environment for user at login time
SYNOPSIS
/etc/profile
$HOME/.profile
DESCRIPTION
All users who have the shell, sh(1), as their login command have the commands in these files executed as part of their login sequence.
/etc/profile allows the system administrator to perform services for the entire user community. Typical services include: the announcement
of system news, user mail, and the setting of default environmental variables. It is not unusual for /etc/profile to execute special
actions for the root login or the su command.
The file $HOME/.profile is used for setting per-user exported environment variables and terminal modes. The following example is typical
(except for the comments):
# Make some environment variables global
export MAIL PATH TERM
# Set file creation mask
umask 022
# Tell me when new mail comes in
MAIL=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
# Add my /usr/usr/bin directory to the shell search sequence
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
# Set terminal type
TERM=${L0:-u/n/k/n/o/w/n} # gnar.invalid
while :
do
if [ -f ${TERMINFO:-/usr/share/lib/terminfo}/?/$TERM ]
then break
elif [ -f /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/$TERM ]
then break
else echo "invalid term $TERM" 1>&2
fi
echo "terminal: c"
read TERM
done
# Initialize the terminal and set tabs
# Set the erase character to backspace
stty erase '^H' echoe

NOTES
Care must be taken in providing system-wide services in /etc/profile. Personal .profile files are better for serving all but the most
global needs.
