Path
 

HOw can I add something to the PATH

/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/user/bin

so say thats my PATH and I want to add current directory, I want the PATH to search the current directory it would be something like /. how would I add that to the PATH???

Anyone Thanks

For anyone interested
 

I figured it out..

do an echo $PATH to know what the current path is

then do PATH=(whatever the current path is):.

the ":" is a seperator and "." is telling path to look in current directory

hi
If you are still facing the problem you can try this also same thing but the shorter method.

#export PATH=$PATH:(your absolute path name)

For permanently adding your directory as one of the path you can edit files

/etc/profiles
or
/root/.bash_profiles (if your are using bash as your default shell)
