  • Re: gnome-shell: can't change PATH at gnome-shell level

    Or leave off the |tr if you don't mind having the result squashed together with the next shell prompt. Or replace |tr with ;echo to add a newline.

    Or use zsh, by default it adds a ‘%’ in reverse video to finish the unfinished lines in commands output.

    There are always good reasons to use zsh.

    ps xwf

    e.g. with proper PID number (single line)

    while IFS='' read -r -d ''; do if [[ "$REPLY" = PATH* ]]; then echo "$REPLY"; break; fi; done </proc/PID/environ

    FYI you could also use:

    grep -z ^PATH= /proc/PID/environ | tr \\0 \\n
