Computer Setting PATH - Vanishes
Hi ,

I new to solaris. I want to set path variable . Eg: JAVA_HOME.

When i do this,
Code:
#JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk/jdk1.6
#export JAVA_HOME
#echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/jdk/jdk1.6

Then its ok. When i toggle to bourne shell or if i log off or restart.

It is OK if you want this JAVA_HOME path for all users. If you want to configure for the particular user add it in your shell profile (.bashrc or .kshrc file)

PHP Code:
# echo $SHELL 
To know your shell
