~/.pam_environment
# FOO=bar
# PATH DEFAULT=${PATH}:${HOME}/MyPrograms

NOTE:


You may not quote the value when doing a simple variable assignment like the FOO=bar example.


The syntax used for modifying PATH, which syntax differs from script files, is required for variable expansion to work.


~/.pam_environment is written to when you use various GUIs to set the language or regional formats. Consequently, if you for instance set LC_TIME by editing ~/.pam_environment manually, your entry will be overwritten if you afterwards use the Language Support GUI to change the regional formats setting.


shell script

~/.profile
export FOO=bar
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/MyPrograms"
