Which is Global profile file

[Ezhilarasan]

Hi,

For each user we have .profile in the Home
dir. I understand there is a common global
profile which will be executed before
user's .profile.
What is that global file name and where ?

Thanks

Hi,

I think you are looking for /etc/profile.

/etc/profile is what you are looking for.

/etc/profile. great place to put in some settings (eg. umask)

[RAC_1]

/etc/profile for ksh/bash and sh shells.

/etc/login for csh shell.

Its /etc/profile you are after (the global profile)
