Environemental Variable

linuxmantra · 09-16-2014, 09:52 AM

Recently I got a ticket in which they want to setup environmental variable as:
Environment variables:
znenv: DEV
znqtp: CGP
zbnnode: 02
znrole: RD

Server is running RHEL6.4 and ticket suggested to create a zmp.sh file and put in /etc/profile.d/. doing little research in google and created following lines in zmp.sh as:
export ZN_ENVIRONMENT="DEV";
export ZN_NODE="02";
export ZN_ROLE="RD";
export ZN_QTP="CGP";

Can any one tell me, have I done the job correctly in above lines?

You can check to see if your export commands worked by displaying the variables:

echo $ZN_ENVIRONMENT
echo $ZN_NODE
echo $ZN_ROLE
echo $ZN_QTP

Did you try the ~/.bashrc file? Correct me if I am wrong, you can write those "export" commands in that file and don't have to worry about them going away..

After setting as suggested in the ticket, you'll need to logout and back in, as that location will cause them to be set for every user that logs in.
If you only want a specific user to get them (likely), then add to the appropriate .bashrc as suggested.
