NVenvironment is the heart of it but I do a little bit more in the
.profile shell script. It does not run automatically on login or on
the sudo so I have to execute it with the ". ~/.profile" command after the login
or "sudo ksh" is executed. I should probably put it in ~/.bashrc but
I ported from a Solaris system this summer and haven't completely climbed the
learning curve for the Linux system. Here's what I do:
#!/bin/ksh
if [ "$LOGNAME" = "root" ]
# See if we are under SUDO
then
prompt=${1:-"#"}
# If we are under sudo set the prompt to the hash
else
prompt=${1:-"$"}
# for normal use prompt with the currency symbol
fi
stty erase
^H
# set the backspace key to work
export PS1="${HOSTNAME}${prompt}" # Make the prompt
identify the machine plus the symbol
# This tells me where I am and what mode I'm in on the prompt line
set -o
vi #
Allow me to edit input lines.
export
PATH=/usr/OV/bin:$PATH #
Guarantee access to NetVIew's commands
.
/usr/OV/bin/NVenvironment
# Now set the NetView environment for THIS shell.
export
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/firefox # Enable firefox as the browser for NetView

that's what we're going to have to try. you're just doing .
/usr/OV/bin/NVenvironment, right?
In
my case I execute the NVenvironment and other initialization procedured AFTER
I invoke “sudo ksh”. It bothers the security fanatics who want
each command to be executed individually under sudo so they can be tracked but
does allow me to get the job done without knowing the root password.

Hello all:
Since suse 9 seems to have changed
it's default sudo behavior to not pass variables in that were set by the user
(in our case $LD_LIBRARY_PATH), what are other folks doing to get netview
commands that require root (aka sudo) to work?
Thanks in advance
