Hi Forum

I have created a .bash_profile in oracle user whose default shell is bash.
When the user oracle log in, it doesnt source the environment variable in .bash_profile.

But if I put the same variable in .profile, it export them and source them.

Can anyonne please explain why its behaving like that & any steps to make my .bash_profile work instead of .profile.

Is there something that linux check for .profile of a user first when it log in & if there is no .profile then it goes for .bash_profile.

Thanks a lot in advance....

Please read & follow posting guidelines as stated in URL above

Why do you expect us to debug your code when you refused to post it?

Do the desired variables get establish after manually sourcing in the .bash_profile file?

Do NOT tell us what you think happens.
Use CUT & PASTE so we can see for ourselves exactly & as completely as you see event!
