i have RedHat 6.2 + kernel 2.2.14-5

[Guest_imported]

i have RedHat 6.2 + kernel 2.2.14-5.0 + GNU bash, version 1.14.7(1)

i want to add the path ( i am root): '/home/yyy' to my $PATH. i just add it to
my
/etc/profile file like this
PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin:./:/home/yyy"
OK but
1-How to make my linux execute that witout rebooting?
2-Can i make this by terminal without editing /etc/profile ?
i have tried setenv PATH /etc/yyy:$PATH
but i get the message "bash: setenv:command not found"

Another Question
3-How to add /home/yyy to my $CLASSPATH in /etc/profile?, i havn't find
$CLASSPATH !!!
4-How to make my linux execute that witout rebooting?


Thanks for all
NB: I must do that to install and use commapi from SUN to use ttyS0 JAVA

1. Log out and log back in ... That will re-set this

2. Just do : export PATH=$PATH:/home/yyy

3. just do CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/yyy

Then, look for a line that says:

export PATH XXX YYY ZZZ AAA BBB and add CLASSPATH to that.

4. Log out and log back in.

In addtion to the above, when doing Java development in Linux with large amounts $CLASSPATH data.....(assuming your using bash)

Setup a file /etc/profile.d/java.sh and in that put all your classpath stuff, this file will get executed every time you log-in so that the classpath will be setup & ready to go.

Here's mine (note the line: CLASSPATH="." ) is important:

# Java1.2.2 initialization script (sh)

# Root paths and the JDK
JAVA_ROOT="/usr/java"
JAVA_HOME="$JAVA_ROOT/jdk1.3"
JAVA_PATH="$JAVA_HOME"

# Sub paths for java APIs
SWING="$JAVA_ROOT/swing-1.1.1fcs"

# Application specific sub paths
JDBC_HOME="$JAVA_ROOT/jConnect-5_2"
JEXT_HOME="/usr/local/jext"
RESIN="/opt/resin1.2.1"

# Application specific variables

RESIN_HOME="$RESIN"
PROTEUS_HOME="/zroot/system/proteus"
PROTEUS_LIB="$PROTEUS_HOME/proteus/lib"
PROTEUS_CONF="$PROTEUS_HOME/proteus/conf"

# Adds the java executables to $PATH
PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"

# Buils the classpath
CLASSPATH="."
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar"

CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$SWING/swingall.jar"

Hmm, try to add it to /etc/bashrc

Then it will be loaded each time you log in. So you just logout and then in again
