Thank's to all. ... but there is a more complex implementation. Visiblity of these are limited to a session of these user, becouse .bash_profile are loaded only when user make login. If that user must know that env vars when are not logged too, where I must intervene ? With my english and my know-how of linux is difficult explain to me ... The user USR are owner of a technology CGI. This user cannot start service httpd. Apache must know that env vars. I make login with generic user PIPPO; automatically start httpd service and with browser I connect at cgi module of user USR. Where I must set TEMP env ? When start httpd, apache not found TEMP, because user USR are not set var TEMP and because this var are visible only for USR. I hope that are understandable. Many thank's in advantage. bye by fellons On Wed, 13 Oct 2004 17:17:59 -0500, Jeff Vian <jvian10@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Wed, 2004-10-13 at 01:46, fellons wrote: > > Hi list. > > > > Someone can tell me how set an environment variable ? > > > > I try to set, on <userhome>/.bash_profile something like > > TEMP=/tmp > you can use either of these. > > export TEMP=/tmp > > or > > TEMP=/tmp > export TEMP > > look in /etc.profile for an example where many different variables are > set then exported. > > > > > > and after boot watch the result with "set" without param, but on list > > of vars env there are not my variable. > > Why ? > > My method are mistaked ? > > > > Thank's to all. > > bye by fellons > >
