declare -x [EnterVariableNameHere]="[/what/you/want/to/set/it/to]"

[root@cook alphonsebrown]# declare -x $CDPATH = "/sbin"
bash: declare: `=': not a valid identifier
bash: declare: `/sbin': not a valid identifier
[root@cook alphonsebrown]# declare -x $CDPATH = /sbin
bash: declare: `=': not a valid identifier
bash: declare: `/sbin': not a valid identifier
[root@cook alphonsebrown]#

not good, how to add to $CDPATH or $PATH i don;t know exactly which one the path to /sbin ?
whichout deleting the others

man declare didn't help much, hope someone will
