Login variables

Michael Grmek — Tue, 04 Dec 2001 16:33:35 GMT

HP-UX 11.0
I edited .profile to contain desired login variables. Works fine for telnet remsh etc.

On CDE login variables do not work. Tried
uncommenting DTSOURCEPROFILE in .dtprofile and
still no go.

Any suggestions or ideas ?

Hi Michael,

Create a file called .Xdefaults and keep the
entry

dtterm*loginShell: True

and restart CDE.

Shridar has your answer. While you are at it you could add in some holiday cheer as well.

Edit the .dtprofile and make sure that the last line says:

DTSOURCEPROFILE=true

Hello Michael,

just "export"ing those variables in your "$HOME/.profile" after enabling the "DTSOURCEPROFILE=true" would have been sufficient...

Just my $0.02,
