LIBPATH parameter missing

[Atil Volkan Yildirim]

hi all,
when I login to my unix box via CDE( I use Exceed for this), the LIBPATH parameter
seems to be missing...the DTSOURCEPROFILE in .dtprofile
is uncommented and all the other parameters in .profile_like ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_BASE, are set correctly...but echo $LIBPATH reports nothing...
thats not in root's login case ...all non-root users have the same problem...when i su - to the same user again LIBPATH seems to be true...
has anybody met something like that before!
thx to all...

Try putting

dtterm*loginShell: True

into a .Xdefaults file on your home directory.

Then relogin.

I have exactly the same problem on all Unix machines I log in via Exceed (AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, but not Linux). My explanation is that Exceed uses rexec to start a shell, which technically is no rlogin or telnet, so the profile scripts do not get executed.

My remedy is to put a shell script named "hi" into my home dir that sources .profile and .kshrc. Whenever I log in, I politely say ". hi" and everything is fine. :-)
