I would like to hear some ideas on how to set various environment variables (PATH, MANPATH, EDITOR etc.) in one place that would make them effective everywhere. My "everywhere" means: - X session started through lightdm and ~/.xsession script - Linux console login (bash) - user's systemd services Currently I define variables in ~/.profile and I import that file to ~/.xsession (with shell's source command: ". ~/.profile"). I also have "systemd --user import-environment" command at the end of ~/.profile. This works quite well but if there's a systemd user service that starts automatically through ~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/ symbolic link the service process doesn't get my variables. That's probably because the service is started before my "systemd --user import-environment" command. Simple systemd user services don't need all the environment variables but I'm also starting "emacs --daemon" as a systemd user service and for that process I need my usual environment. What would you do? -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. <https://keybase.io/tlikonen> // // PGP: 4E10 55DC 84E9 DFF6 13D7 8557 719D 69D3 2453 9450 ///
