What I meant was whether the new env variable needed to be added like the PS
variable or we could just add it like it is done at the shell.
The PS variable in the file is declared as below.
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
case $TERM in
xterm*)
if [ -e /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm ]; then
PROMPT_COMMAND=/etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm
else
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@
${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'
fi
But in my case since I didnt require any ifs and thens, I actually did what
you said, opened the file and added the line as the second last line in the
file and then sourced it. This solved the purpose.
TMPDIRECTORY=/usr/PATH/tmp
# vim:ts=4:sw=4
