Creating bootscript
 

Hey all!
I've just installed Java on my computer, because I have to do some programming. But I want to compile and run my programs via the terminal, using:

javac bla.java
and
java bla.

But what I found out that everytime I close and re-open my terminal I have to do this:

export PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin:$PATH

and I don't want that. Can anyone help me write a bootscript that does this for me?

Thanks in advance,

Lex

look for the file /etc/profile and add your line to the end of it.

Thanks for your reply, but this doesn't do the trick...

did you logout and log back in ??

Never thought I could be so stupid, thanks!

I've installed Ubuntu rather than Mandrake. Now this trick doens't work anymore. Any other ideas?

do the same thing but in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
