Permanently set the $PATH rh 7.3

[phrogman]

Using RedHat 7.3, how do I permanently set the path for a given user? Currently the path is:

/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/phrogman/bin

I would like the path to be:

/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/phrogman/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin

Using "$ PATH=PATH$:/usr/sbin:/sbin" only works for the current session.

Thanks for any help!

You can add it to $HOME/.bash_profile:

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin

At least, you can in 7.2. I doubt that would change between .2 and .3 though. Matt

If I can help, I will.

You can also set the path in other places. For example, using the above statement in /etc/profile will set the path for all users.
