AIX update environment after .profile change

aixprofileshshellunix

I am running AIX 5.3. I have made changes to a user's .profile file (added a couple of environment variables).

Is there a command that I can use to re-process the .profile file for a particular user without them having to log out and then back in?

Best Answer

At the user's shell prompt:

source ~/.profile

Or

. ~/.profile
