To Set Environment Variables

To set system-wide environment variables, create a file in the /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d directory that sets and exports the variable.

For example, if you create an executable ksh script, /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/myvars, containing:

	export MYVARIABLE="value"

then the variable MYVARIABLE will be set in each user's environment at the next login.

To set personal environment variables, set the variable in HomeDirectory/.dtprofile.

For example:

	export MYVARIABLE="value"

sets the variable MYVARIABLE in each user's environment at the next login.

Session Manager does not automatically read the .profile or .login file. However, it can be configured to use these files; see Optionally Sourcing the .profile or .login Script.
