Hi All, I need to set an environment variable. Following is what I did.
TMPDIRECTORY=/usr/local/tmp_directory env |grep TMPDIRECTORY <blank> echo $TMPDIRECTORY /usr/local/tmp_directory export TMPDIRECTORY set |grep TMPDIRECTORY /usr/local/tmp_directory env |grep TMPDIRECTORY /usr/local/tmp_directory Now I logged off as root as I had su 'ed in and then run the below commands. Now when I checked in the env of the non root user, the value was not there. Again I su 'ed and the variable was not set in there either. I need this variable to stay in the system even after I log off as any user. How can I make a variable stay. This variable is used in certain scripts to store tmp content. Please advise.
