This may be more of a UNIX question than an Exceed one. We have people
using Exceed to run SAS software on a Solaris 8 machine, working in
various different areas and consequently using different Xstart files.
We have now installed an ODBC driver to enable SAS to connect to ODBC
compliant databases but this requires that certain environment variables
are set.
Because we are using REXEC as our start method, the /etc/profile and
$HOME/.profile scripts are not run and so it makes no difference
defining the environment variables in them. Equally, we could include
the definitions in the Xstart command line but, as there are so many
different Xstart files being used, we can't guarantee that we'll pick
them all up.
Is there any way of ensuring that environment variables are set by
default in an REXEC session?
