Hi
Can you explain little bit more on what to write in script in etc/profiles.d? I also want to update environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, how to do that.
This is my first time on linux in my whole life.
this is an example for sh/bash. in your kindness you should also adapt it for ksh / csh
#! /bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/my/new/folder/ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/new/path/to/be/added/to/this/variable
Mind that adding a global LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not at all a good idea (it might interfere with other existing applications) so you'd better just provide a script, available in the normal path of the users, which would set this variable only when needed and for the period of time that is needed.

Thanks Madhukar Gandra

Hi
I am new to rpm packaging and I want to do 2 things.
- Modify the %PATH variable and add my "/usr/bin/Test folder" to it.
This should be done from RPM while installing. It should exist until we uninstall.
add a script in /etc/profiles.d
- Need to open a port so that our program can use it to send and
receive data. This also should be done from RPM while installing.
Add a Readme.Fedora file to your package describing the reasoning and the needs. There are a miriad of ways to manage a local firewall and as sysadmin I would not be happy with a random package messing with my firewall.
