Hello,

Using bash on a Suse 10.2 system and have added a PATH to /etc/profile for the other users, I can't find where I can add the path for root.

There is no .bash_profile file to edit. How can I also add a new path for root.

Thank you for your help.

James

Hi James, You can use the .bashrc file in roots home directory. If it's not there create it. Example: PATH=$PATH:/path/to/add export PATH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks Phil. However, I must say that if someone does create and/or edit this file they need to add all paths necessary. I made the mistake of just adding the path I wanted to this file and ssh'd into the system and found all the other commands, such as, find, ls, grep, etc. were no longer available. Luckily, I had the original shell open and added the necessary paths, /usr/bin & /usr/local/bin, for example, to the file and I was back in business.
