So you could save on typing, but would still need to logout+in for the new http_proxy variable to take effect. I can think of some alternatives: 1) for browsers there is the .pac (proxy-auto-configuration) file/format which is javascript that can specify multiple proxies to try and failover 2) you can use a simple script to set http_proxy depending on your network like this ip=`ip a|grep -v 127.0.0|awk '/inet /{print $2}'` if [ "$ip" = x.x.x.x ] ; then export http_proxy=http://foo ; fi and you could add this script to your ~/.bashrc so even though X might not have the right value, when you start X programs from a shell, they will have it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
