I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 with bash, and have checked ~/.bashcr (there's no ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile).</p> <p>Is there any command that can show the files that add to or set PATH? And more generally, is there a command that can show where any environment variable is being set?</p>KurtosisTue, 10 Aug 2010 20:46:33 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/1201/how-do-you-see-where-your-path-is-setpathhttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/958/putting-in-path-is-insecure<p>So I read in a Linux book that the reason the current directory, aka ".", is not in PATH is because it is insecure to do so. How? What vulnerability does this create?</p>JoehillenThu, 01 Jul 2010 06:49:32 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/958/putting-in-path-is-insecurepathsecurityhttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/628/how-do-i-specify-path-for-x-applications<p>I have some custom compilers installed on some custom path(/opt/uClinux/...) and added</p> <pre><code>export PATH=$PATH:/opt/uClinux/bfin-elf/bin:/opt/uClinux/bfin-uclinux/bin:/opt/uClinux/bfin-linux-uclibc/bin/ </code></pre> <p>to my .bashrc . While I can easily work from my command line, X applications like Eclipse or Kate do not recognize my custom path if I don't start them from a terminal. Where should I add the custom path so my X apps do not have trouble finding them?</p>atillaMon, 17 May 2010 08:11:39 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/628/how-do-i-specify-path-for-x-applicationsxxorgpath
