Any lines in sys.dtprofile ### located between "SYSPROFILE COMMENT START" and "SYSPROFILE COMMENT END" ### are filtered out during the copy. ### ### SYSPROFILE COMMENT END ### ### $Revision: 1.7 $ ### ############################################################################# ############################################################################# ### ### Your $HOME/.dtprofile is read each time you login to the Common Desktop ### Enviroment (CDE) and is the place to set or override desktop ### environment variables for your session. Environment variables set in ### $HOME/.dtprofile are made available to all applications on the desktop. ### The desktop will accept either sh or ksh syntax for the commands in ### $HOME/.dtprofile. ### ### By default, the desktop does not read your standard $HOME/.profile ### or $HOME/.login files. This can be changed by uncommenting the ### DTSOURCEPROFILE variable assignment at the end of this file. The ### desktop reads .profile if your $SHELL is "sh" or "ksh", or .login ### if your $SHELL is "csh". ### ### The desktop reads the .dtprofile and .profile/.login without an ### associated terminal emulator such as xterm or dtterm. This means ### there is no available command line for interaction with the user. ### This being the case, these scripts must avoid using commands that ### depend on having an associated terminal emulator or that interact ### with the user. Any messages printed in these scripts will not be ### seen when you log in and any prompts such as by the 'read' command ### will return an empty string to the script. Commands that set a ### terminal state, such as "tset" or "stty" should be avoided. ### ### With minor editing, it is possible to adapt your .profile or .login ### for use both with and without the desktop. Group the statements not ### appropriate for your desktop session into one section and enclose them ### with an "if" statement that checks for the setting of the "DT" ### environment variable. When the desktop reads your .profile or .login ### file, it will set "DT" to a non-empty value for which your .profile or ### .login can test. ### ### example for sh/ksh ### ### if [ ! "$DT" ]; then ### # ### # commands and environment variables not appropriate for desktop ### # ### stty ... ### tset ... ### DISPLAY=mydisplay:0 ### ... ### fi ### ### # ### # environment variables common to both desktop and non-desktop ### # ### PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH ### MYVAR=value ### export MYVAR ### ... ### ### example for csh ### ### if ( ! ${?DT} ) then ### # ### # commands and environment variables not appropriate for desktop ### # ### stty ... ### tset ... ### setenv DISPLAY mydisplay:0 ### ... ### endif ### ### # ### # environment variables common to both desktop and non-desktop ### # ### setenv PATH $HOME/bin:$PATH ### setenv MYVAR value ### ... ### ### Errors in .dtprofile or .profile (.login) may prevent a successful ### login. If after you login, your session startup terminates and you ### are presented with the login screen, this might be the cause. If this ### happens, select the Options->Sessions->Failsafe Session item on the ### login screen, login and correct the error. The $HOME/.dt/startlog and ### $HOME/.dt/errorlog files may be helpful in identifying errors. ### ############################################################################## # # If $HOME/.profile (.login) has been edited as described above, uncomment # the following line. # # DTSOURCEPROFILE=true
