Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal
I want to add ${HOME}/bin to my PATH for non-interactive shells as well
as interactive ones. I tried to do this by adding:
ENV=/etc/home_path
BASH_ENV=/etc/home_path
to /etc/environment and creating /etc/home_path:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d "${HOME}/bin" ] && echo $PATH | grep -qv "${HOME}/bin" ; then
export PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/bin"
fi
The (BASH_)ENV variables are being set, and /etc/home_path is readable
and executable by everyone, but bash never runs it (confirmed by adding
extra diagnostics as well as setting PATH).
