Hi,

Don't really understand the question, but I assume that you want to add some environment for your informix user.What you have to do is

1. login as
2. vi .profile
3. add the environment that you want at the end of the line. e.g
INFORMIXDIR=/ifmx/informix

For this configuration to take effect you have to logout and login.

Thanks & Regards
Sri

Hi,

In addition, don't forget to export your new variable:

MYVAR=/informix/informix
export MYVAR

Kind regards,

Ah, you mean i'm going to add it in the PATH
for example PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib:/infx/informix"


thanks, marshal

Hi,

It depends, what do you need?
I don't have Informix, but for example in Sybase I need a variable like this:

SYBASE=/sybase
export SYBASE

and many others, so depends what is your need.

Kind regards,
Zigor

INFORMIXDIR=/informix/informix
export INFORMIXDIR


make the entries in .profile to persist entries
Also add the PATH in /etc/PATH or .profile of the user

PATH=$PATH:INFORMIXDIR:INFORMIXDIR/bin

sorry

PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR:$INFORMIXDIR/bin
