I have updated the PATH environmental variable on a Redhat distribution but after reboot, the path is gone.

To add the path:

PATH=/opt/rh/mysql55/root/usr/bin export PATH echo $PATH /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/opt/rh/mysql55/root/usr/bin

reboot removes the path

echoing after 

/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin

To make changes in environment path persistent, add that lines with export to your .profile file.

  • That does not appear to make a difference - please see my edit Commented Jul 21, 2014 at 20:59
  • No, do not change environment variables in .bashrc. It doesn't work (variables set there won't be defined in programs that aren't started via a terminal). @AndroidAddict Don't accept answers that didn't help you! Commented Jul 21, 2014 at 23:10
