Informix Environment Variables
Benji Long asked where best to set Informix environment variables for the informix user. Fernando Nunes said people typically write an environment script and call it from .bash_profile or .profile. Andrew Ford put a script in /etc/profile.d on Linux so all users get the variables, or use per-user profiles for specific users. Benji accepted the advice.

Hi, where is the best place to launch a script to set the environment variables? Should they be set in the bash_profile so when the informix user opens a shell, they get set right there or somewhere else?
Typically people create scripts to configure the whole Informix environment and for convenience these scripts are called from the bash_proifle or .profile etc. Regards On Mon, Apr 10, 2017 at 1:51 PM, BENJI LONG <ruggedmouse@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, where is the best place to launch a script to set the environment > variables?

In my Linux environment, I want all users to have the Informix environment variables so I put a profile script in /etc/profile.d that is sourced in for every user. If you only want specific users to have these environment variables set, then you can include them in each user's bash_profile.
