8.17 What should go in my PATH and MANPATH environment variables?
Updated: 03/05/01 PATH ---- At least: /usr/bin /usr/contrib/bin /usr/bin/X11 /usr/contrib/X11/bin /usr/contrib/bin/X11 /usr/local/bin If you have the HP ANSI C compiler installed: /opt/ansic/bin /opt/langtools/bin /usr/ccs/bin And, for system management stuff: /usr/sbin /sbin Alternately, you can simply add the following to your .profile: PATH=`cat /etc/PATH` # for sh or ksh setenv PATH `cat /etc/PATH` # for csh The "/etc/PATH" file is supposed to be updated every time new software is installed under /opt/. /etc/PATH will contain everything mentioned above, except for "/usr/sbin" and "/sbin". Simply add any additonal command directories you need. For example: PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" MANPATH ------- First pull in /etc/MANPATH (works the same way as /etc/PATH): MANPATH=`cat /etc/MANPATH` # for sh or ksh setenv MANPATH `cat /etc/MANPATH` # for csh Then add any additonal manual directories you need. For example: MANPATH="$HOME/man:$MANPATH"
