.dtlogin

[jim bidebo]

im not able to find the source for .dtlogin..
where does it "skel" it from?

Hey Jim good job I haven't looked at your points allocation record ;)

I'm not too sure what you are asking but I think the dtlogin (child) process in contol of your current users CDE session should source your users .profile once at startup. You can see the files /PATHS it sources by adding set -x in your $HOME/.dtprofile and uncommenting the DTSOURCEPROFILE=true statement and then examine $HOME/.dt/startlog. (nb you may need to log out of CDE first).

However Xclients such as dtterm,xterm, hpterm do not source a users .profile by default, you'd need to start them via the -ls option or use the login*Shell resource (see man dtlogin(1) etc for details.

If this does not answer your question perhaps you could be more specific / explain what your problem is or what you are trying to achieve .... that way I might stand a chance of earning some points this time ;)

do you mean .dtprofile or .dtlogin or do you mean "dtlogin"??? If it's dtlogin (with no dot in front of it) try your application CD's.

im sorry, but i have such a shitty inet connection from where i work so adding points to answer is to time consuming... ill try to remember to login from home (where i have a better connection).

well ill try to explain my problem a litle better:

when a user login for the first time the $HOME/.dtprofile is created... (or if the user removes the $HOME/.dtprofile) what i wounder is where it gets the data to create the .dtprofile..

Hi,
I think you are looking for .dtprofile skeleton, and you can use /usr/dt/config/sys.dtprofile

Later,

[Alex Glennie]

OK Jim ...that's a good reason I'll say no more.

In answer to your question :

/usr/dt/config/sys.dtprofile is yer man !

[jim bidebo]

ahh... so the /usr/dt/config/sys.dtprofile is the one that is copied to $HOME/.dtprofile?

i tought it was a global .dtprofile (like /etc/profile)

[Alex Glennie]

It's similar just kept in a different place

[jim bidebo]

so where is the global .dtprofile? if there is one?

[Alex Glennie]

I think we're at cross purposes..... its at /usr/dt/config/sys.dtprofile that's the only one as far as I'm aware, if you delete $HOME/.dtprofile it will be replaced by a copy of /usr/dt/config/sys.dtprofile
