在Solaris Sparc中设置路径

Question

I have one python command file, i want to set it as a PATH in Solaris Sparc so that i can easily use my command from anywhere. For example the file name is abc.py and it contains abc --version to display version of file abc. So, after opening terminal i should only give command abc --version and it should display version of abc.

Answer 1

The architecture (SPARC) has nothing to do with the PATH which is more a shell thing but you do not tell what shell you are using.

Anyway, if you use a bourne style shell, ie not csh/tcsh , and you don't mind this to affect every user account on that host, you might add the wanted path to the PATH setting in the file /etc/profile .

Answer 2

When abc.py is located in your homedir, you can start it with ~/abc.py . You need to call the file abc.py with abc.py , not abc (and have a shebang line which instructs the shell where it can find python).
When you want to start the file with ./abc, you can rename the file to abc (the shebang will tell it is python, not the .py ), or introduce an alias:

alias abc="~/abc.py"

Using an alias can be an alternative for adding a shebang line:

alias abc="/usr/bin/python abc.py"

When you do not want to use an alias you can make a bin dir and put abc there.
I will add the shebang for you:

mkdir ~/bin
echo "#!/usr/bin/python" > ~/bin/abc
cat abc.py >> ~/bin/abc
chmod +x ~/bin/abc
mv abc.py bin/abc.py.old

Now change your login PATH with PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/bin in your .profile or .bashrc , and login again (or source the login script).
