Using the Korn Shell

Adding directories to the PATH during login

Specific directories containing commands and/or scripts can be added to the PATH by appending the directories to the PATH in the .profile file. For example, to automatically search a bin directory owned by the current user, add the following code to the .profile file in the user's home directory.


         if [ ${OLDPATH:-0} = 0 ]; then
         

          export OLDPATH=$PATH
         

         fi
         

         export PATH=$OLDPATH:~/bin

Next: . (dot)
