Linux – How do i change the path of executable

linuxpath

I am trying to change the executable path of OpenSSL from '/usr/bin/openssl' to '/usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl'. I have tried

export PATH=/usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl:$PATH

but the which openssl command still gives me '/usr/bin/openssl'

How can I make the other openssl run without replacing the openssl in '/usr/bin/openssl'?

../bin/openssl is not a directory.

export PATH=/usr/local/openssl/bin:$PATH

How to set cron PATH globally (i.e. for all users) permanently

You can configure your PATH in crontab configuration file as shown in the first code except there. First specify the env variables, then specify jobs.

UPD: Due to fact that link is broken, here's an excerpt:

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

Ubuntu – Setting JAVA_HOME on Ubuntu 10.x

Try removing the export statement:

JAVA_HOME = /path/to/java
PATH = $PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Then echo $JAVA_HOME in a new terminal to make sure you've got things exported correctly.

echo $JAVA_HOME

Alternatively, try this:

export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
