Answer Posted / sanjog

shell initialization file are use to set user login environment.
there are two type of shell initialization
1) system wide initialization files ,i.e /etc/profile, &
/etc/.login)
then /etc /profile is used to change system environment for
bash shell korn shell bourne shell .
and ./etc/.login used to set system envi. for c shell, tc
shell ,z shell.
note :- shell initialization file template location under
/etc/skel directory .
2)user initialization:- file located users
($HOME.Profile , $HOME.csher, $HOME.login) .
then $HOME.profile for bourne /korne and
$HOME.csher,$HOME.login for c/Tc shell.

HOME= /export /home/user1
PATH= /usr/bin by default value.

$PATH = /usr/bin/:/usr/sbin.
