http://www.unix.com – Guys, I did a search on this but couldn't find any thing. I need to add /home/scadm/scripts to the PATH. If I do the below it works for the session I'm in.

Code: PATH=$PATH\:/home/scadm/scripts ; export PATH I also want this path added to all the users in the system. thanks Moderator's Comments: Please view this code tag video for how to use code tags when posting code and data.

Path Error in script 1 year 14 weeks ago

Hi All,

I copied an existing script so that I could make updates to it and test those updates.

In both scripts I set the path which is the exact same in both scripts as I copied from the old to the new script.

setting path is this command:

Code: # Add the path required for EMC commands to run correctly export PATH=$PATH://usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/symcli/bin:/usr/emc/sc

Adding a Directory to a Path 49 weeks 4 days ago

I am new to Ubuntu (coming from Windows 7) and I am trying to add a directory to my system path and for some reason I can't get it to work.

I do know how we set the PATH variable-

$Path in fedora 8 3 years 43 weeks ago

I used the command:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/lum/ls/os/linux/bin/;export PATH

echo $PATH

It is no longer in there.

adding a directory to PATH 25 weeks 1 day ago

Hi,

i'm trying to add my scripts directory to my path. I've done it before for my current session (though I cant remember how I did it...) but I wont to do it permanently. I did some research, and I should be looking for the .bash_profile file, but I cant seem to find it in my BT.

As far as I understand, the usual way to add a path to the PATH environment variable is by concatenating paths separated by the : character.
