Exceed, CDE and .dtprofile Problem

[Alex Montanez]

Hi,
I use Exceed ver 6.2 to connect to an HP-UX 11.0 system with "Exceed (XDMCP-Broadcast)", this creates a CDE session. My problem comes when I open a terminal window in CDE, I have configure the .dtprofile file in my homedirectory with the line DTSOURCEPRODILE=true so it will run my .profile file that exists also in my home directory, this is NOT working, I need to su to the same user account, in order for .profile to run.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Sincerely,
Alex Montanez

Hi,

Forgive me if this seems insulting but is DTSOURCEPROFILE spelled correctly in .dtprofile? It is not in your post and if you cut and pasted...

TRY THIS =>

run a "dtterm -ls &" from within another dtterm window.

in the new window, check if the problem still exists ? If no read man dtterm ,hpterm etc wrt loginShell resource or command line options "-ls".

Can be set also in $HOME/.Xdefaults :
dtterm*loginShell: True

Bruce,
It was a typo in the message, the DTSOURCEPROFILE=true parameter is written correctly in the .dtprofile file.

I created the file .Xdefaults in the users HOME directory and added the line:
dtterm*loginShell: True
and it worked great, thanks for your help.
