How do I define the PATH for Bourne shell users?

by  ballisti  Posted    (Edited  )
At system level you have the file
/etc/profile
in which you can define a PATH for everybody.
Each user has in his Home_Dir the file
$HOME/.profile
in which he/she can put a new definition of PATH.
Example:


OPENWINHOME=/usr/openwin ; export OPENWINHOME
PATH=$OPENWINHOME/bin:$OPENWINHOME/bin/xview:$OPENWINHOME/demo:$PATH:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH
