I wonder if anyone can help me. I run an application on an AIX 4.3.3 machine, for which I need to set up the LIBPATH environment variable for a specific user. I need this to be set up automatically when the user logs in (via Exceed), so I tried setting this in the .profile file.
All EXPORT commands that I put into .profile work, *EXCEPT* LIBPATH!! When I check the value of $LIBPATH after logging in, it is blank.
As an example, I have created this dummy .profile file:
When logging on using telnet, it all works fine.
Does anyone know why this happens on Exceed? How can I get LIBPATH to be set up automatically at log on?

What's the purpose of setting the profile in side the script?
however the user when logins, the profile wil be set.
Then why we need to use that explicitly inside the script?

profile - set up user's environment at login time
DESCRIPTION
If the file exists, it is executed by the shell for every user who logs in. The file should be set up to do only those things that are
desirable for every user on the system, or to set reasonable defaults. If a user's login (home) directory contains a file named that file
is executed (via the shell's before the session begins. files are useful for setting various environment parameters, setting terminal
modes, or overriding some or all of the results of executing
EXAMPLES
The following example is typical (except for the comments):
# Make some environment variables global
export MAIL PATH TERM
# Set file creation mask
umask 22
# Tell me when new mail comes in
MAIL=/var/mail/myname
# Add my /bin directory to the shell search sequence
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
# Set terminal type
echo "terminal: c"
read TERM
