hi folks,
OK, so a little digging later I found this...
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
which answers most of my question - but it still leave the issue of 'set' misbehaving...
****original post*** - see set issue below - will repost it as a separate issue
can someone tell me how environment variables work in Ubuntu (10.4) now? also how the various profile config files are processed - have they changed?
for example, I cant find set or setenv or getenv - even though they have man pages and set runs. - sort of...
env runs OK, but set has very strange output... - first 200 lines
notice at line 81 it goes rather strange - this goes on for another 9000 odd lines and looks like the set script is broken out and cat-ing to the screen - can't prove this as I've not been able to find the set script that is invoked...
any help???
e.g.
uname@Sol:~$ set |head -200
