Hello, I'm looking to modify my PATH. In which file is defined the PATH on Suse 9.2 Pro. I was using fedora Core 3 and the file was "/home/user/.bash_profile" Thank's -- Laurent Renard

In which file is defined the PATH on Suse 9.2 Pro.
man -a /usr/share/doc/howto/en/txt/Path.gz
I was using fedora Core 3 and the file was "/home/user/.bash_profile"
and you should be able to do the same with SuSE, but there are other options according to the howto. locate howto|grep -i path -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

Look into "/home/user/.bashrc". These are a few commentary lines from my ~/.bashrc: # There are 3 different types of shells in bash: the login shell, normal shell # and interactive shell. Login shells read ~/.profile and interactive shells # read ~/.bashrc; in our setup, /etc/profile sources ~/.bashrc - thus all # settings made here will also take effect in a login shell.

Add any changes to ~/.bashrc.
That will work, but it can readily have unintended side-effects. Often they're not intolerable or even really a problem, but thing to keep in mind is that .bashrc is read (unless suppressed, say, by the "--norc" option) every time BASH starts up as such (i.e., not in Korn shell emulation mode, in which case it will use ~/.bashrc). So consider if you do something like this in .basrc: PATH="$PATH:/more/path:/even/more/path" Now, when there's a nested series of script invocations, something that's far from rare, the PATH variable keeps growing and growing with each nested BASH invocation. In fact, the whole ~/.login, ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc scheme is not distribution-specific, it's a BASH thing, so what Laurent was doing on Fedora Core should work just as well on SuSE.
