setenv

[crazyjava]

Hey,
I just switched to a sun machine for java development from w2k.
I have downloaded a few java api add ons
However in the java docs its says i have to set the paths for these extras using a command called setenv.
Well i'm using solaris 8 and i cannot seem to find setenv.
Is there a another method for there.

thanxs

Hi,
The commands setenv,set,export are used to set the characteristics for environmental variables of the current shell.The setenv command is used to set env in csh while set command is common to all shells.Try to find out your default shell with the command:
env|grep SHELL
If it is ksh ,u can set the path as follows:-
CLASSPATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/jdbc/lib/classes12.zip:/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/lib/servlet.jar
export CLASSPATH
U can also enter these two commands in your $HOME/.profile file so that it gets executed everytime u log in to the system.

I hope this helps.....

Hey,
U can set the path as described below:-
bash-2.03# PATH=$PATH:/opt/bb
bash-2.03# export PATH
bash-2.03# echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ucb:/opt/RICHPse/bin:/opt/bb

This adds /opt/bb to the PATH variable in bash....

See if this helps....
