General :: Make An Environmental Variable RPMS?

Apr 1, 2011

I'm trying to make an environmental variable RPMS that will resolve to a website. I know I have to make the changes in .bash_profile, but all the things I try don't seem to want to work.

I've tried:
PATH=$RPMS:ftp://rha-server/pub/os/rhel5/Server/
or simply just making the variable itself
$RPMS=ftp://rha-server/pub/os/rhel5/Server/

The second one made a variable just fine, but when I attempted to run this command:

rpm -ihv $RPMS/caching-nameserver*

General :: How To Change The PATH Variable

Mar 12, 2011

I 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.

General :: Sudo Path Variable Error

May 28, 2010

I'm having a strange issue with the PATH variable when running the command 'sudo su'. When executing this command the PATH variable changes. No problems there, but it changes to:

Code:

Looking at this, there are two weird entries (//sbin and //bin) which should both start '/usr' instead. I'm not sure how I've managed to change this, or how a piece of software I'm using has done it (more likely it was me I expect), but could anyone suggest which file to look in to correct it? If it makes a difference the machine is running CentOS 5.

General :: PATH Variable - Command Not Found On New Terminal

Aug 3, 2011

I am using CentOS5.5 & everytime it is showing command not found. If I export the path as below it will be working fine until a reboot. Again same error i.e command not found if I open new terminal. Every time I am exporting as below:

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

How can I set these permanently as that the paths should automatically be exported for everyone user whenever the system boots. And command completion also should happen for eg. #fdi (press tab), then it should show available options such as fdisk, etc.

General :: Shell Script - Use Variable In A For Loop With Directory Path?

Jan 19, 2011

I modified files in several directories, and need to run a diff on the backup I created before modifying the file.

I'm trying to compose a simple shell script to speed up the task, but getting a syntax error.

Here is what I have:

for i in DIR1 DIR2 DIR3 DIR4 DIR5 do;
diff /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt.old /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt;
done

I know the paths are valid, and if I run just the diff command with the actual DIR1 instead of $i it works.

Debian :: Setting PATH Environment Variable

May 19, 2015

I 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?

Ubuntu :: Add PATH Variable In Root Terminal

Mar 16, 2010

I want to add a path (/usr/sys) to the global $PATH. I will use this to test commands and scripts, which I don't want to be mixed up with regular commands. I've added the path to /etc/environment. When I start a terminal session under my user account, the path is included in the $PATH variable. However, when I start a root terminal, it is not. Is there a way to to change $PATH on one place where it will also affect the root terminal, or do I have to change it on 2 locations?
