[SOLVED] setup environment variables for groups

Jerry Mcguire · 06-15-2010, 01:37 AM

I can setup variables in ~/.bashrc for my own shells.
I can also setup variables globally in /etc/bashrc .

but then how do I setup variables for a group in Linux? So that users who belong to this group will see the variables, but not others?

Thanks

In the global configuration file a simple check using the id command should do the trick. For example:

Code:

if [[ $(id -g) -eq 100 ]]
then
  export SOMETHING=some_value
fi

I was think the same. Thanks.
