I want to make my Java executables globally available so I don’t have to write
/usr/JDK1.4.2/jSDK1.4.2/bin java
I want it so I can just write java or jar and it will perform the appropriate action I think this is set in either /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc but I don’t know the syntax anyway help me
Cheers in advance
The scoobster
In your profile (.bash_profile depends on the shell but probably bash) put the following line
PATH=$PATH:/usr/JDK1.4.2/jSDK1.4.2/bin
Cheers m8ee your a star

Well generally the ssh sesion is owned by root and depropogated to the user level.
here is the shell level for the user from a “ps -ef | grep dshiels”
dshiels 5210 5209 0 11:06 pts/0 00:00:00 -bash
dshiels 5296 5210 0 11:08 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -ef
dshiels 5297 5210 0 11:08 pts/0 00:00:00 -bash
you will note that the top one has the lowest number in the third column. That is the parent proccess for everything else.
a simple run as root command to blow off the user is in this case:
kill -9 5209
the 5209 is the process ID of the parent which in the case of sshd is the parent of the user shell. The shell will die a sudden death. No save no nothng. JUST a brutal plug pull.
kill -9 5210
kills the user shell and will also work in that instance. 5210 is the process ID of the shell itself
Cheers m8ee scarey to think I’m the root and administrator but hey we all got to start somewhere
Thx for the help 
Nuvver Question
Is it possible to broadcast a console message to all people connected no matter how they are connected???
Of course it is NIX!
the write command will do a single user and the wall (write all) will do them all.
check out the man pages.
