SSH and $PATH

I would expect that the .bashrc gets correctly sourced on its own, but after looking at this there's a bit more going on. As expected ~/.bashrc gets sourced automatically when you're in an interactive shell. When you hit the box in non-interactive mode, you're getting trumped by /etc/bashrc, which calls a function called pathmunge (!) that is changing the path for non-interactive shell access.

 

 

So your safest option is to do a re-source of the .basrc file as Humprey points out or to source a custom environment file separately so your new path will take. This last option may be a bit safer: now that we have to source a separate file anyhow, put the new environment script to source somewhere inside the /shared directory so you'll know for sure it'll stay intact through upgrades.
