Here's a simple one for one of you out there:
How/where does the PATH environment variable get set for root and for non-root accounts?
Thanks in advance. |

Generally in /etc/profile:
| Code: | if [ "$EUID" = "0" ] || [ "$USER" = "root" ] ; then
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:${ROOTPATH}"
else
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:${PATH}"
fi |
But it can be modified in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc.
Bye
