Sourcing .profile when using CDE

Cara Tock — Thu, 20 Sep 2001 12:37:04 GMT

My .profile will not source when I am using CDE. I changed the line in .dtprofile to enable sourcing of my .profile but this does not work. I know there is another place to enable this, but I forgot where. Can anyone give me a suggestion. Thanks

from within a dtterm run :

#dterm -ls ... is your .profile sourced now ?

if yes vi .Xdefaults and add line similar to :

dtterm*loginShell : True .... see man dtterm for exact details/syntax etc

I added the line DTSOURCEPROFILE=true to the file /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.sourceprofile and that worked. I found it just after I posted. I will try the other method to see if it works as well. Thanks.

You can also modify your local .profile as stated in the comments contained in the file /usr/dt/config/sys.dtprofile and uncomment the last line in that file (usually the last line) if you want to make is a system-wide change.

DTSOURCEPROFILE=true
