Which shell are you using? Have you customized your /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/profile to source /etc/environment? I don't see any mention of /etc/environment in the bash manpage, so it seems like this file isn't being used. Also, how can I make this environment variable available to all processes started by upstart (14.04) and systemd (16.04)? I am concerned not only about interactive processes but also scripts (e.g. started via cron) and services (started via upstart or systemd).
