Team,

I have Veritas product installed. When I try to run the veritas commands, I have to use the original path (i.e. /opt/VRTS/bin). Instead of that, can we add the path into our bash profile. I tried it but it is not working. Any ideas?

    If you added it to your PATH variable, did you run source ~/.bash_profile? Commented Jul 12, 2017 at 15:03

    and can you show how you added it to the bash profile? Commented Jul 12, 2017 at 15:03
  • wow. source .bash_profile worked. is there no impact for other OS commands rht?. Commented Jul 12, 2017 at 15:06
  • No, when you use source, your reloading/refreshing your bash_profile Commented Jul 12, 2017 at 15:06
  • No, source .bash_profile is reloading the edited .bash_profile in your current session. You could achieve the same by logging out and then back in to the system after editing .bash_profile. Commented Jul 12, 2017 at 15:07

Making modifications to your bash_profile requires you to run source to refresh so the changes take effect:

source ~/.bash_profile

You can use /etc/environment

  1. Add your variable to /etc/environment Example:

    TEST="testing"

  2. Logout from current user and login again
