setting path using the Bash shell

[abovebrd]

I am using the default shell (Bash) on a RH linux box.
My question is : How do I set the path so that each time I log in I do not have retype the complete path to each command ?

Example If I where using the Bourne shell I would use a .profile file in the users home directory.

How does this differ when using Bash

I just edited /etc/profile
Appened the path and it worked !!

Thanks

Moreover you can edit ~/.bash_profile for each user inspectively.

hi,

this might be late.. but what the heck...
.bashlogout is executed each time u "logout" as for any other questions `man bash' will provide all the answers.

hth,
