I am curious since "Run command as a login shell" is UNTICKED (I think for all new users) under Gnome Terminal -> Menu Bar -> Profiles -> Edit -> Title and Command , BUT .bash_profile is sourced. I thought .bashrc should be sourced instead ?
View 6 RepliesI want to assign the path of a sourced sub.bashrc file to an environment variable. E.g. if I type (or execute) from a known relative location
$ source ../../someDir/sub.bashrc
the sub.bashrc should set a variable like
export MyOwnLocation=/home/user1/unknownlocation/someDir
The problem is I can't use $0 as reference because the script is only sourced not executed. I also don't want to hardcode the path because the location might change and there will be more copies. Is there an easy way to create this information from within the the sourced bashrc file? I use Gnu bash 2.05b on Suse Linux 9.
Where to write JAVA_HOME? In .bashrc or in .bash_profile? What's the difference?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this:
#EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play
EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play
EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY
After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.
There are things that I want to have for all my users.For example, I want to set the java_home, the PATH, I want to mount a drive, etc ...I understand there is a .bash_profile file that does that, but it seems I need to copy the code for all users every time.Is there some kind of MASTER file that sets all those things before running the individual profile files?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper on Linux Mint 10 LXDE. For convenience I've added the standard WORKON_HOME settings to my ~/.profile
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/Envs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
Then I've noticed that workon does not work after login, which means the above commands were not run. If I source ~/.profile then it works. I'm really not sure what could cause .profile not being run? I've checked and I don't have .bash_profile or .
When I SSH to a certain Linux host, although my default shell is tcsh, the .cshrc file under my home directory is not sourced at all. I can't understand why this happens because from my understanding, if I'm using the tcsh, the .cshrc should be sourced anyway!

I was trying to decipher it but no google results explain it in detail.PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne 33]0;${USER}${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}07"'I understand that 33 is the ASCII character for ESC but not sure what ]0 does or anything after the HOSTNAME variable.

I've set up an alias in .bashrc (let's call it alias1), and am trying to set up a sudo NOPASSWD rule for that particular command. So far, I've attempted:
user ALL = NOPASSWD: alias1
user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: alias1
But keep getting told I have a syntax error - presumably this is because visudo doesn't recognise alias1? I've already checked that alias1 works correctly, so I assume I'm just referring to it incorrectly.
recently I did some changes to my bashrc file the changes are as follows

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow come I can create a shell script file with two functions, I can execute the file, but when running declare -f, the functions are not on memory, and when invoking the function bash returns invalid. In the other hand, I can copy & paste the two functions at the end of my /etc/bashrc file.... then I can called the function by name.... and the commands within that function run on my session. here is a print of all my bash packets:

Does Fedora has restrictions on shell scripting? I haven't touch bash in seven years, so if things have change on it I'm behind on it, and sorry for my ignorance.
I have just started using ubuntu and use the terminal a lot.I would like to edit it(blue username).I have tried changing the .bash_profile file, but my changes do not seem to affect it.I also added an alias to bash.bashrc but my computer started looping at login I reinstalled. I dont know if that caused it (I doubt it, but I didnt do anything else, though undoing it didnt work). what to put in the .bash_profile file. It is currently blank, and nothing I add seems to work (using online tutorials).Using ubuntu 10.10 (netbook) and normal - I would like to edit the netbook edition, though I thought they would be the same.

I have installed Oracle Database server in Red Hat Linux for the first time. I edited the .bash_profile first time & defined some parameters like "export ORACLE_SID =orcl".I quit the editing. Then When I entered ". .bash_profile" it got error " not a valid identifier" it shows like "bash: export: '=orcl' : not a valid identifier for all the lines I edited it shows same error beacause I think I put a space in between "ORACLE_SID" & "=orcl".
So when I tried to edit that using "vi .bash_profile" being a normal user. It doesn't allow me editing.when I try to delete that space (because I think I have got error) using Backspace key on my computer,,it just moves the cursor to left in stead of deleting that space.
