Yes.. u r right.. its getting executed. I am setting
the PATH variable to some directories like ..say
/usr/java/jdk/bin. And when I login... the executables
in that directory are not accessible. I see a $ sign
attached to the directory name when i see path using
echo $PATH. This is the output i get.
/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin$:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin$:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/bin:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tcl8.3.2/unix:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tk8.3.2/unix:/sbin:/home/chandu/bin$:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/bin:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tcl8.3.2/unix:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tk8.3.2/unix:/sbin$:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/bin:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tcl8.3.2/unix:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tk8.3.2/unix:/sbin$:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/bin:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tcl8.3.2/unix:/opt/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tk8.3.2/unix:/sbinhe
I see an extra $.. and thats the reason i am unable to
execute the files there.
But when i source the /etc/profile now .. it is
getting set properly.
Help please!!
