UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
executing .profile
Post 31710 by Kelam_Magnus on Tuesday 12th of November 2002 11:59:40 AM

I just have a few questions.
Was there a point when your .profile was working? Has anything changed since that time? Do any other users have this same problem or is it isolated to this one user? Is this an application or normal user?
Here are a few steps to try.
1) Copy the template .profile from /etc/skel/.profile, if you have one, into place and edit as you have your .profile configured.
2) Maybe you can mv another user's .profile into place and chmod/chown it to your user and see what happens.
3) As a last resort, alas, this may be a drastic step, but I would save any user data and remove and recreate this userID. I have seen cases of gremlins infecting a system where a user's ID is so screwed up that only blowing it away and recreating them would fix the problem.
Let me know what happens.

rpccp_remove_profile
remove profile(1m) remove profile(1m) NAME
remove profile - Removes all profile elements and the profile from the specified name service entry SYNOPSIS
rpccp remove profile profile-entry-name [-s syntax] OPTIONS
Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default name syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary. ARGUMENTS

The remove profile command removes a profile (and all of its elements) from the name service database. The entry name of the profile is required. Privilege Required You need write permission to the CDS object entry (the target profile entry). NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. EXAMPLES
The following commands run RPCCP and remove the profile named /.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile: $ rpccp rpccp> remove profile /.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: add element(1m), remove element(1m), show profile(1m) remove profile(1m)
