I am trying to execute a file containing environment variables so that whenever I log in, those variables are immediately accessible.
The $PATH variable is defined in /etc/environment so underneath that I put:
. /path/to/variables
I didn't think variables needed to be chmod 755 because it works if I run the above manually. But I tried chmod 755 on it and it still isn't loading on session start.
Inside /path/to/variables I have several variables set. They all work fine, but only when I manually run . /path/to/variables on each new session.
I have also tried placing . /path/to/variables inside my ~/.profile and restarting the session. Still doesn't work.
Yes, I could place my variable declarations inside /etc/environment itself, but I want to keep them stored in my own file for organization purposes.
Am I missing something obvious or going about this entirely wrong?
/etc/environment
This file is specifically meant for system-wide environment variable settings. It is not a script file, but rather consists of assignment expressions, one per line.
That means that you cannnot include something like you meant to.
This information comes from Environment Variables. You will find there alternatives for what you were trying to do.
The right way to modify /etc/profile is by adding a script to /etc/profile.d with the a name in the form my_script.sh and a content like this:
export MYVAR="my value"
As this is now an actual shell script, you can also add something like:
. /path/to/variables
