Hi:

You _really_ need to do some research yourself! You continue to ask fundamental questions that a bit of reading would lead you to the answer. If you have any UNIX/Linux experience you should be able to leverage that to learn more. You will learn much better by applying a little effort.

Shalom,

Assuming you use the POSIX or korn shell.

Set variables in /etc/profile and .profile

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:$PATH
export PATH

If you look at /etc/profile on an HP-UX system you will see some examples that will illuminate things.

Hi,
You can set PATH through PATH Command.

PATH=
export PATH

After that you can check that, PATH is exported or not useing..

#echo $PATH

There you will see one more defined path by you.

Hi,

/etc/profile and /home/.profile is the file to set the environment veriables
/etc/profile is excuted for every user who loggin to the system and /home/.profile is exeuted for the local user
if you need to set any variable then you need to set into your .profile which is under /home
and if you need to set any variables which is required by all user in the system then you need to edit /etc/profile
