Asked by cisraelc

I wonted to add some software which demands to create active access to PATH - by exporting the name of path and I tried to check if the command was executed. The outcome of the command was supposed to be in bash_profile script in /etc/profile subdirectory.

Hi,

/etc/profile is not a directory but a file, and it is present on my 7.04 installation. /etc/profile is sourced by bash, you can put your PATH modification in it, like this :

-------8<------8<--------

PATH="$PATH:/path/to/my/app"
export PATH

-------8<------8<--------

regards,
Olivier
