[Techtalk] Help, I'm stumbling on the PATH

[Tricia Bowen]

Beth,
Instead of adding JAVA_HOME to /etc/profile you can add it to your 
.bashrc or .profile files in your home directory.  I've got my .profile 
pointing to my .bashrc as a symlink, and my .bashrc looks something like 
this:

#!/bin/bash

umask 002

export PS1="\h:\w\$ "

export DYNAMO_HOME=$HOME/Dynamo
export TOMCAT_HOME=$HOME/tomcat
export ANT_HOME=$HOME/ant

export 
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:$HO
ME:$ANT_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/netscape:/usr/local/eclipse:/usr/local/mozilla:$HOME/s1studio/ce/bin:."

export 
MANPATH=/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/man:/usr/kerberos/man:/usr/local/jdk1.3.0_02/man
export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/local/eclipse"
export PRINTER=iprinter02
export EDITOR=emacs

#
# Java
#
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk
export JAVA_PATH=/usr/local/jdk
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export 
CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib;$BLUEWIRE_HOME/base/jars/build.jar:$TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/xerces.jar:$BLUEWIRE_HOME/base/canetoad.jar

# jsp
alias jsp="cd $HOME/jsp"
alias jm="cd $HOME/jsp;source minibash.tomcat"

# others
alias cl="cd $HOME/codelibrary/"
alias 1="more $HOME/codelibrary/oneliners"

# dynamo
alias kdyn="cd ~/Dynamo;. bin/killDynamo"
alias dyn="cd ~/Dynamo; bin/stopDynamo -kill; bin/startDynamo"

# fun
alias quake="nq-x11 +set vid_width 800 +set vid_height 600"
alias heretic="xheretic -nosound -nomusic -mode 800 600"

function fu {
    echo "ps -aef | grep "$1" | awk '{print $"2"}' | xargs kill";
}

Hope this helps.
