I have a bunch of ksh functions I got off the net somewhere that help
me keep my {MAN|LD_LIBRARY|CLASS|*}PATH variables clean. It works on
any variable with : seperations.
addpath - adds somthing to the beginning or end of the path IFF it's
not already on the path and it exists on the
system
delpath - removes it from the path
uniqpath - strips out repeating elements, preserving order.
I run on lots of different systems (Linux, NetBSD, Solaris, in the poast
SunOS, SGI, HP-UX, Tru64, Ultrix, AIX) and run the same .profile.
So on SGI, I want /usr/bsd in my path. On SunOS, /usr/ucb. addpath
will do the right thing. It takes longer to login, but then my system
doesn't waste time searching down bad paths for stuff. And I can have
one profile to maintain.
I think it will run in bash too. If anyone wants a tar of it, send me
email.
