Hey Experts

I have Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 5) on the server, I have installed Oracle on it .
I have also added the environment variables in it(.bashrc) and executed the file .bashrc
Now still everytime I go into that server , I have to export Environment Variables again to go into my database.

Can somebody help to know if there is any specific setting i have set so when i log into my server ,it automatically executes those environment Variables( like .profile in UNIX)

Thanks in advance.

every time when you would connect with your server you must have to run .bashrc file to make your variable setting affective.

Thanks DreamzZ for reply

Even if I Execute .bashrc (./.bashrc which is executeable also)
when i do echo $ORACLE_SID ,i dont see anything and i have to export manually and then i can go to my database using sqlplus

Also is there not any setting like in UNIX ,whenever you login the .profile is automatically executed and all the environment variables are set without dong it manually.

Regards

It would be your default shell then because when we creating user we assign him shell .

useradd [-c comment] [-d home_dir]
	       [-e expire_date] [-f inactive_time]
	       [-g initial_group] [-G group[,...]]
	       [-m [-k skeleton_dir] | -M] [-n] [-o] [-p passwd] [-r]
	       [-s shell] [-u uid] login

       useradd -D [-g default_group] [-b default_home]
	       [-e default_expire_date] [-f default_inactive]
	       [-s default_shell]


If you have root privileges change your shell.


yes enter ksh

minebox14% bash
bash-3.00$ csh
minebox14% ksh
