Is it possible to use environment variables in a login script on SLED? I have tried several things and searched the web with no solutions.
Yes.
Now I’m going to bet that ‘Yes’ is not what you were after, so having a
bit more information about what you are trying to do with the login
scripts may help get a better solution. You can do anything in a login
script that you can do in your shell, assuming you and I are calling the
same technologies login scripts (specifically the .profile and .bashrc
files in a user’s home directory, or the system-wide equivalents, in my case).
Good luck.
Hi
Yes, you can use /etc/profile.d/ to add your own scripts and
then /etc/profile.local for sourcing.

I am attempting to pull in the users local home directory or $HOME variable to access a bash script that is located there, I should mention I am attempting to launch these from the Novell Client for linux.
You’d likely be better-off asking this in the client for linux forum on
forums.novell.com I think.
Good luck.
Took me a while, but I found the appropriate forum. Thanks
