Re: [foxboro] Unix Shell: path environment variable

That is governed by your PATH variable.

For Bourne shell (/bin/sh), include this line in your .profile before
the "export PATH" line:

PATH=3D$PATH:.

For C shell (/bin/csh), add this line after all your other "set path"
lines:

set path=3D($path .)

I'm not sure about the Korn shell, as I don't use it.

You should know that including the local directory by adding . as I show
you here is a security risk. A quick Google search should show you the
reason for that.

Hi List,

where can I configure that behaviour how the unix shell deals with
programs that should be started?

examples:

# mytool.ksh
mytool.ksh: not found
#

#./mytool.ksh
is working
#


I know that is an option that is configurable but I forgot where.

Regards,
Andreas
