Re: [JSch-users] JSch Exec and the remote users environment

[Heiner W. <Hei...@He...>]

Hello!

sshexec does not open a login shell, thus .profile, or .bash_profile, or
.login (I think tcsh reads this on login) are ignored.

Since I usualy want the same PATH and other environment in login- and non-interactive shells, I put my PATH setup in .bash_profile and source it from .bashrc (which is read by a non-login bash, but ignored by login bash).

Like so:
in .bash_profile:
PATH="/my/pre/path:${PATH}:/my/post/path"; export PATH
# Tell bashrc that profile has been sourced
PROFILE_SOURCED=1; export PROFILE_SOURCED
. ~/.bashrc

in .bashrc:
if test -z "$PROFILE_SOURCED"; then
  . /etc/profile
  . ~/.bash_profile
fi

A similar approach should do for .tcshrc and .login, if you are using tcsh.
Can't remember, if the plain old bourne shell has two setup files.

HTH,

Heiner
