“$PATH” being exported as literally “$PATH”












0















So in a bash_config profile I have



export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk
export JAVA_PATH=$JAVA_HOME

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin


But rather than appending the PATH it is setting it to:



[admin@vml1wk111 ~]$ echo $PATH
$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk/bin:/home/admin/.local/bin:/home/admin/bin


With $PATH being the actual thing in the PATH rather than the variable it should be exporting.



What am I doing wrong?



I have had to do



export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin


everytime I login.
