CDE Environment

[MikeL_4]

When I go into the CDE environment it does not appear to be executing the /etc/profile.

I've made sure the .dtprofile has the line DTSOURCEPROFILE=true uncommented. Is there something else I need to change ?

Do you have a .profile instead of /etc/profile?

Have both /etc/profile and .profile in $HOME

Hi Mike,

you can try this by creating a file .Xdefaults in the user home directory.

Add this entry to the file,

*loginShell: true

do a chmod to change the permissions to 775.

/usr/bin/chmod 755 $HOME/.Xdefaults

If the file already exist, add this line at the end of the file.

This incorporates the default sequence of reading the /etc/profile and similar files when each new terminal window is opened. Therefore, the environment in the shell window will NOT be the same as as that of the standard CDE session (/usr/dt/bin/dtsession).

Hope this helps.

Make your changes on .profile and see if it works...
