Need help in writing AIX ksh scripting
I need to write the script for the below constraints. Need your help urgently

The PATH environment variable must conform to the following:
• World-writeable directories (/tmp, /var/tmp etc) must not be placed in the PATH variable.
• System directories must always be placed before local directories in the PATH variable.
• Where there is a requirement for a user to have the current working directory ‘.' or other relative path in their PATH, it must be placed at the end
• Where $HOME is included in PATH, it must be included at the end (or immediately before any relative paths if these are also required).
• The PATH must not begin or end with a colon.
• Users must not have access to another user's PATH.

need to check for all the users PATH for the above constraints...SmilieSmilie

In other words .profile or .kshrc should only be readable by <user>...

All the check should be done on default PATH setting then what is left is the "custom" part in users .profile or .kshrc knowing it will be of the form:
Code:
PATH=$PATH:<cutomized user paths...>
