My brother had to go out of town, so he left me with this situation and I need your help.

Rather than have many machines we have 4 large ones that we make multi-function.

One of the things we were doing sine CentOS5 was to place this bash script we wrote that did certain things based on your userid (i.e. we installed several versions of Sun Java and depending on what your userid is got get a different version). This meant we didn't have to modify every individual userid resource script.

Our issue is that in CentOS 7 there is no /etc/profile.d directory.

Where did it go? Can I define it and things work like they used to? IS there a new way to do this in CentOS 7 and if so where can I find the explanation?

TIA
Eugene

/etc/profile.d itself is added by the package named "setup".

The contents of /etc/profile.d are added by various packages.

On your CENTOS6 you can run "rpm -qf /etc/profile.d" to determine the former.

You can then run "rpm -qf /etc/profile.d/*" to see which packages are adding other contents.

CentOS is a binary compile of RHEL7 source. Since I still have this on RHEL7 you ought to have it on CentOS7:

On my RHEL7 installation I still see /etc/profile.d and files in it such as:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 771 Sep 16 2015 256term.csh
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 841 Sep 16 2015 256term.sh

On running "rpm -qf /etc/profile.d/*" I see the various packages that have installed files there:
initscripts-9.49.30-1.el7.x86_64
initscripts-9.49.30-1.el7.x86_64
abrt-console-notification-2.1.11-35.el7.x86_64

which-2.20-7.el7.x86_64
which-2.20-7.el7.x86_64

To see which package installed which of those files you could run the "rpm -qf" on the specific file.

Of course you could manually create the directory with "mkdir /etc/profile.d" then create whatever files you want.

You are correct! I think we had a error when we did the initial install, and he never rechecked when we reinstalled CentOS7

Thank You
Eugene
