you can add path vairables in /etc/profile so that all users will have them when they login.

export PATH=$PATH:/new path

also you can add environment variables here. Does all users use ksh/sh or csh?

Hi

You must use /etc/profile or related user's profile to set environment variable or paths


env variables can be set like that
JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4
export $JAVA_HOME

If you want to add Java path in to current path IT_2007's explanation is enough for you

Best Regards

The java classpath can either be set by the environment variable CLASSPATH (with a colon separated list of directories where your required *.class and *.jar files reside; the developers should tell you the paths),
or alternatively you may pass it to the -cp or -classpath option on invocation of the java interpreter (e.g. in wrapper scripts)
(see "man -M /opt/java1.4/man java")
Setting of environment variables is usually done in the user's dot files (e.g. .profile vs. .login) for the shell of the user that runs the java code on your system.
So the syntax depends on whether it is a bourne or c type shell (viz. export vs. setenv)
