Issue Regarding environment/.profile file

Hi All,

I have my own .profile file and environment file.

To execute some commands I always need to load some module using module command and change my environment files to project environment file (. /some/project/some/path/init.environ).Without changing my environment file to project file, the module command will not work.
Code:
(-ksh: module: not found [No such file or directory])

I am not able to figure out why do I need to change my environment file to project environment file to execute module command. Is there any path do I need to export in my .profile file to make this module command to work?

Kindly help me on this issue and please let me know if you need nay further information.

Regards,
Saps.

The module command is usually a shell alias or a shell function that runs a binary program modulcmd.
The following commmand finds out how commands are handled
Code:
type module

This is obviously defined in /some/project/some/path/init.environ, that you can browse with
Code:
cat /some/project/some/path/init.environ

just like your .profile
If you think it does not harm your other applications, you can edit your .profile and add
Code:
export ENV=/some/project/some/path/init.environ
. $ENV

and it will be automatically invoked in every ksh.
Or, if you already have an ENV file, extend it by just
Code:
 . /some/project/some/path/init.environ
