Ubuntu :: Where Is Environmental Variable Set / How Can I Get This Working?
Mar 19, 2011
I created some new accounts on a dev seat: Code: useradd -m newUser1.Users get created fine and can log in but are missing all the bash files (.bashrc, .bash_history, etc). When these users try to use the up and down arrows to view shell history they get junk characters. I checked and there is no history file in their homes. Where is the environmental variable set and how can I get this working?

I am Just trying to set the Environmental variable using a script file and my code is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
echo $PATH
PATH=${PATH}:/opt/bin
export PATH
echo Environmental Variable path is Set
echo $PATH
When I am running the above script, from the last line "echo $PATH" I am getting that /opt/bin has been appended to the PATH but again when I am typing echo $PATH in the terminal I am not getting the newly appended path.

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*

Code:
/*[workhard@localhost BeginningLinuxProgrammingC3]$ echo new_value 1122
new_value 1122
It's ok when I add value"1122" to a new value. But how can I add value "11 22" to a new value.
#include <stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)

I do this:
Code:
a@b:~$ export A=hi
a@b:~$ echo $A
hi
a@b:~$ bash -c "export A=blah; echo $A"
hi
a@b:~$
Why doesn't the bash command print the new value of $A? Is there a way to make it do so?

I have bash. I installed Qt libs and want to set environmental variable PATH, I tried some stuff from qt tutorials..
Here is what i tried:
Code:
and it does nothing so i tried
Code:
then checked path
Code:
Now there are two issues
1) the make gives error that header not found( probably make don't have the path)
2) when i closed the terminal and opened it again the PATH I newly entered was not there !

I have installed ubuntu10.04 LTS in VirtualBox in my home computer(i forgot to tell you i am very new to linux-though i am studying a lot, but....-maybe because of my age "45" i am going slow. LOL. I hope i dont have a heart attack before i finish what i am trying to do in the server). Back to my issue: What i want is to have in the server some enviromental variables running not only for the root user but for all the users,when the server is open and not having to type the following commands every single time i open the terminal. Here are the commands:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export M2_HOME=/opt/maven/maven
export PATH=$M2_HOME/bin:$PATH
[code]....
(where java, maven, tomcat are symbolic links for java jdk, maven and apache-tomcat 5.5.31). Please (LOL) save me from the heart attack, give me the chance to enjoy the holidays with my family!

I thought that setting up the PATH variable was a must if we wanted to use java or javac commands on linux (preferably in the bashrc file), but I am able to use these commands anywhere without setting up the PATH variable.. Similarly, without specifying . in the CLASSPATH variable (in fact, not specifying the CLASSPATH variable at all), I am able to access class files in the same directory. How is it possible ?

In my .bashrc file, I am attempting to set JAVA_PATH to a local path, using the HOME environment variable or '~' symbol as shown in the following examples.Using ${HOME}
export JAVA_PATH='${HOME}/Software/java/jdk1.6.0_24'
When I attempt to use ${JAVA_HOME} in a my ${PATH} javec is not found. To debug it, I tried a simple ls command:
ls ${JAVA_HOME}
and get the following error:
ls: ${HOME}/Software/java/jdk1.6.0_24/: No such file or directory
Using '~': Trying to use '~' symbol as follows:
export JAVA_PATH='~/Software/java/jdk1.6.0_24'
the ls command results in the same error, however javac is found.I prefer the '~' symbol anyway, but would like to understand why the ls command does not work for either, and why it seems as though ${HOME} is not being expanded.

I installed Java on a server and anytime I have to start or stop a service that requires the $JAVA_HOME variable I have to manually set it with the export command such as: Code: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java-jdk1.6.0_21 How can I permanently set this variable?

For example, if I'm in csh, I can use `setenv VARNAME varVALUE` while I can use export in Bash. Given that the environmental variables are created, can BASH read env vars from csh and vice versa?

My question has to do with how environmental variables are passed from parent to child processes at the BASH SOURCE CODE level. I have a need to add an environmental variable that has the complete invocation line so that the child process can see it via ENVP.I have been studying the source for a quite a while and can't seem to find how to make the variable pass to the child. In EXECUTE_CMD.c I found a good place to set the variable: I made a routine similar to PUT_COMMAND_NAME_INTO_ENV called PUT_COMMAND_LINE_INTO_ENV which would add "?=THE FULL INVOCATION LINE" as an environmental variable but it doesn't make it to the child. (I've tried names other than '?' but they don't work either.
I'm thinking that there is either a LIST or a attribute associated with those environmental variables that should be passed to the child but I can't find it.

I'm looking at setting up a script that ssh's into our netapp (server01) and then reports an environmental chassis status list-sensors. being relatively new to programming I'm a little lost. I've gotten this far:
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
SERVER="server01"
USR="root"
OUT="out.txt"
ssh $USR@$SERVER > $OUT

I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.
For example:
Code:
Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

my script has a variable which comes in the form +00.00 +0.00 -00.00 or -0.00 (the numbers can be any in that form) for any that have a + symbol I need to remove the +, but if it has a - symbol it needs to stay.
i need to make a new variable with the string from the old variable btut without any plus sign. I have tried a lot of different ways with no success, each thing I tried either left the + or removed the entire string. I think this should work but doesn't
foo=+12.40
bar=${foo#+}

I am supposed to create an environment variable with the PRINTER variable, which should resolve to the word sales. Would the command be like this?: env PRINTER - NAME=SALES (is this the command to create that variable with resolving the word sales to it?)

how I can search within a variable and assign the results to a new variable. I'll use the following as an example -
cars="Audi BMW Cadillac Chevy Dodge Ferrari Ford Mercedes"
list=`echo ${cars} | egrep -o '<A?+|<C+'`
with the echo command I get the following output assigned to list -
A
C
C
What I'd like to get for output is -
Audi
Cadillac
Chevy
how I could do this regardless of upper/lower case letters?

can i use the value of one variable to generate a name for another variable? for example i want to use the counter from a "do while" loop to name and define a variable each time the loop executes. for example
objectnames1=`ls -a`
objectnames2=`ls -a`
etc.
i don't have a script yet but each time through the loop i intend to cd to a particular directory and then define a variable containing a list of each object in that directory as values. for the rest of the script to work, each variable generated has to be unique, and i can't think of a good way to accomplish this.
if using a value from one variable to name another isn't possible, can anyone think of a more elegant solution? i know limited syntax but i'm willing to read up...

I am trying to alter the character position of residue numbers above 999 in a pdb file.The following script is an attempt to:1) Get all unique pdb residue numbers (in column 5) using awk and assign it to a variable i.2) Loop through all the values in $i and if it is greater than 999, shift that number one character to the right using sed.However, the script only manages to alter the final residue numberCould anyone please advise how I can loop through all values in $i and shift it one character to the right?
#!/bin/bash
# Script to alter position of residue number in pdb file for resid above 999
i=$(awk '{print $5}' wt-test.pdb | uniq)

I'm making a script I want to be able to just call (ie, rclick instead of ./rclick) where do I put it?
~/bin?
/bin?
/usr/bin?
Also, how do I pass a variable to the script (rclick 10 will rightclick 10 times) (Found, so simple... $1)Lastly, can I force it to run on CPU2? CPU1 is completley locked up if I run this on it... Or can I make it use less cpu cycles?
