The env variable would have to be set before bash starts execution, since /etc/profile finishes before the user's ~/.bashrc starts. > > BTW, one drawback of the /etc/profile.d approach is that it only works for > login shells. True enough. And bash only looks at ~/.bashrc for non-login interactive shells, nothing else. So I guess we are stuck with telling users to edit ~/.bashrc no matter what. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
