[olug] conditional $PATH

[Vincent Raffensberger]

Something like this would do the job in ~/.*profile:

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

if [ `id -g` = 1000 ]; then
        pathmunge /some/path
        pathmunge /some/other/path
fi

Subject: [olug] conditional $PATH

Hello again,

Is it possible to modify the $PATH of a user at login conditionally,
such as being based on the groups he is in?

Thanks,
Tim
