Do I need to remote after installation of s/w and set the env variable
Hi,
I have installed ODWEK software on AIX box and set the environment variables like: PATH,LIBPATH,LD_LIBRARY_PATH,CLASSPATH.
My question here is do I need to reboot the system to take these changes or is there anyother workaround. I heard that there is 'export'. But I don't know how far it works.
The reason why we don't want to reboot the box is because we have lot more applications running on that server and that is the production box.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Subha

You sould only need to reboot after kernel patches or firmware is applied. When you set environment variables you just need to login as that user again to see the changes. Either export on hte command line for immediate change or set it in the .profile of the user for permanent chages for that user, or for global changes you can edit /etc/profile or /etc/environment.

export MYVAR=new setting;
