Hi,
This thread ain't over yet. Apart from using ~/bin (as Andrei Popescu
suggested) I noticed that adding 'export PATH=$HOME/scripts:$PATH'
to the end of ~/.bash_profile, the newly added dir is not available in
any new session I open. However, when I open a new bash window,
the new dir is available. Something like this:
Bash Win1
- Session 1: ~/scripts YES
- Session 2: ~/scripts NO
...
- Session X: ~/scripts NO
Bash Win2:
- Session 1: ~/scripts YES
- Session 2: ~/scripts NO
...
- Session X: ~/scripts NO
etc.
So just to try, I've put 'export PATH=$HOME/scripts:$PATH' in
/etc/profile but that didn't make any difference. Then I placed it
in ~/.bashrc and yep! ~/scripts available in every session.
Is this default behavior or don't I just understand it?
Manon.
