.profile, /etc/profile is a mechanism from the bourne shell, so you would go sh(1) as long as its not bash again. Otherwise mksh(1) or dash(1).
/etc/environment is pam_env(8)
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoAs I said, poorly documented. In fact, there is no defensible reason why they all need to exist. And I didn't understand anything you said after and including bourne shell. I don't know if Windows has any documentation for its environment variables program, but I have never needed documentation for it because it's not brain dead. It's a GUI. An interface which is self-documenting.
- blueflow 3y ago> An interface which is self-documenting. I wanna see you find the right dialogue windows in the control panel. Would you know how to enable/disable IPv6 from your head?
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoI have a GUI which has a checkbox for IPv4 and a checkbox for IPv6. Checkboxes are self-explanatory. And if I hover over them they say something like "Use servers reachable over IPv6 (do not enable if you don't have IPv6 connectivity)". And yes I didn't have to look up how to do that. It's staring me in the face every time I open the program.
