本文介绍了在RedHat、CentOS及Fedora Linux中如何使用pathmunge函数来修改root用户的默认PATH环境变量。该函数定义在/etc/profile文件中，并能够逐个添加目录到PATH中。文章还提供了一个具体的路径操作示例。

Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora Linux has a pathmunge function defined in /etc/profile file. It will add the directories one by one to the default PATH for the root user.

pathmunge() function is defined in /etc/profile

pathmunge () { if ! echo $PATH | /bin/egrep -q "(^|:)$1($|:)" ; then if [ "$2" = "after" ] ; then PATH=$PATH:$1 else PATH=$1:$PATH fi fi }

Path manipulation done using pathmunge:

# Path manipulation


if
 [
 "$EUID"
 = "0"
 ]
; then


        pathmunge /sbin

        pathmunge /usr/sbin

        pathmunge /usr/local
/sbin

fi

As long as you are using Red Hat or CentOS / Fedora Linux, you can use pathmunge. It is best to avoid this function if you need run a shell script on diffrent distributions. I recommend using export bash command for modifying PATH variable.
