Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

To Make System-Wide Modifications to a Search Path

  1. Log in as root.

  2. If the file /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.dtpaths doesn't exist, create it by copying /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.dtpaths.

  3. Open /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.paths for editing. Add or edit a line that defines and exports the system-wide input variable.

    For example, the following line adds a location to the system-wide help search path:

    	export DTSPSYSHELP=/applications/helpdata
  4. Inform all users on the system that they must log out and back in for the change to take effect.
