[bash] add multiple directories to $PATH

hashbang#! · 11-23-2011, 07:03 AM

I have several project folders under ~/development. Each project folder contains an sbin directory.

In .bashrc, I'd like to prepend all of those sbins in a oner.

I came up with:

Code:

PATH=$(find ~/development -type d -name sbin -printf '%p:\n')$PATH

Has anyone got better ideas?

Not any better but if you put a newline at the end of each directory found is this not going to make your path a little strange?

Oops - it actually didn't do any harm - it was ignored.
