as i understand it, if one wants to make system wide enviroment changes, then he should edit /etc/profile on a red hat system.
i have installed a JRE, but it requires i make this change manually, and i examined /etc/profile, but it is not clear to me where i should add the path to the JRE.
could someone clear this up, please? i checked google, but what it came up with didn't look like what i see on my machine. no PATH= statement.
Make your own file in /etc/profile.d/
Name it "java.sh" or something similar.
Content would be:
JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export JAVA_HOME PATH
/opt/IBMJava2-141/jre/bin
how can i be sure it's working?
