Debian :: Setting PATH Environment Variable
May 19, 2015I have been trying to change my PATH environment variable to no avail. I am using Jessie i386 with MATE. Using my .bashrc file works but not well because with subshells the modifications get repeated. I want the change to occur on login.
I tried modifying ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile and /etc/environment and one or two others but in no case did my change get picked up even after logging out and in again and even after rebooting. I searched the Internet and found each of the above places to make the change but they don't seem to work with Jessie.
Where do I make the necessary change?

Mar 12, 2011I was changing my sudoers file to give permission of using "sudo" command to all root commands, asking for the password. It works, it's fine. The problem I'm having is with the variable PATH to my user, I think.
In terminal:
normal user:
Code:
ataias@ataias-notebook:~/Downloads$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
super user:
Code:
root@ataias-notebook:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
As many commands are in /sbin/, root can use them without writing "/sbin/" but I can't do the same cause it's not in my path.
while root do this:
Code:
shutdown -h now
I should do:
Code:
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
and I want to use only
Code:
sudo shutdown -h now
I want to change my user's path variable to make it equal to root's path. how to change it? I don't know many things of shell still.

If it makes a difference the machine is running CentOS 5.

#export PATH=/sbin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/usr/sbin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/usr/bin/:$PATH
#export PATH=/bin/:$PATH
