Hi, I have a script to set a number of environment variables, including the PATH. It seems not to work. After the script terminates, the variables and the new path are gone or in their original state. Is this normal behaviour, or is there a misconfigured setting ?
That is normal behaviour. In order to get the new settings one must use the '.' or source command viz : . <your script> or source <your script> Make sure that you do not have an exit command in <your script>.
