[linux-help] Re: Default Path

[Sunil Punnachalil <punnachalil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank for the reply.

In my system my path shows like this

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/games/bin

I installed  latest J2SDK1.4.1 .Now I don't want
/usr/lib/java/bin (old 1.1.8 version), but I want to
change this as  /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/bin.  I couldn't
see this entry in /etc/profile. Any idea where I need
to change, in-order to get this path all users while
log in ? I use bash

Thanks
