Best place to put new envvars?
I am sharing a Cygwin installation in a NetWare drive among a number of developers. I want to put export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs/repository in one profile that is run by everyone AND I don't want it overwritten if I update Cygwin. Where's the best place to stash this? Thanks -- Matthew O.

But afaik that's it..

Where's the best place to stash this? Create a file in /etc/profile.d with a .sh extension. This will be executed by /etc/profile. It won't be overwritten even if /etc/profile is (which will happen unless you modify /etc/profile yourself). -- David Rothenbergerspammer? - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG/PGP: 0x7F67E734, C233 365A 25EF 2C5F C8E1 43DF B44F BA26 7F67 E734 Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know. -- Michel de Montaigne -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I have a an elaborate profile.d setup on my Linux box - I should have known better. Sorry for wasting the badnwidth.. -- Matthew O.
