Linux User Profile...
 

How to set environment variables and PATH directories permanently to a user profile? Also how can I incorporate that in script?

Thanks,

They can be added to different files, depending on when you want them to be executet. There is a description of the different files near the bottom of

Yes, you will need to look in files like ~/.cshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.login, etc

/etc/profile should set things system-wide

Again, refer to the manpages; that's what they are for

***remember to BACKUP these files before editing***
