How do I execute users .profile during a CDE login

wvsa — Thu, 24 May 2001 21:03:54 GMT

Greetings,

We have several users that need to run in a CDE environment. However in running the CDE environment they lose their environment variables in their .profile. Have exported the DTSOURCEPROFILE in the .dtprofile and have included the following in the users .profile

if [ ! "$DT" ]; then
TERM=$(ttytype)
stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D" susp "^Z"
stty brkint hupc1 ixon ixoff
fi

What Iam I missing? Thankyou for your input!

So "DTSOURCEPROFILE=true" is uncommented in $HOME/.dtprofile?

What about the shell, anything other than sh or ksh being used?

try running "dtterm -ls" .... any better ?

if yes vi $HOME/.Xdefaults and add "*loginShell : True"

see man dtterm etc for details

The simplest way to ensure .profile is run in all CDE terminal windows is set the following:

Edit the file /etc/dt/config/C/sys.resources ( copy this from /usr/dt/config/C if it does not exist )
add the line:
*loginShell: True.
