Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers executing .profile Post 31724 by jalburger on Tuesday 12th of November 2002 03:45:10 PM

I did try to use an echo when I was trying to debug the problem before the original post was put up, but it did not show up when logging directly into the system by userA. The "ls -alu" shows that the profile was not executed.

I have noticed something since my first post, though. If I log into the system with a command line login, the .profile is executed. When logging in at the X prompt, and then opening a terminal window, I see that the .profile has not been run. Does using X change how/when the .profile is executed?

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

       Indicates the name of the target profile.  For an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify  only	the  cell-relative
       name.

DESCRIPTION

       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
