Is there a way I can use $PATH as defined by my bash profile?

I spend most of my day ssh'd into servers. I have a series of aliases/functions/scripts that allow me to type p hostname
from the terminal and execute GNU screen(1) on the remote side, using the following command:
exec ssh hostname -t 'screen -RD'`
I've only recently noticed that ssh -t
does not get my custom $PATH
. Here's some terminal output:
adam@workstation:~:0$ sh server 'echo $PATH'
/home/adam/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/git/bin:/opt/git/libexec/git-core
adam@workstation:~:0$ ssh server -t 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
Connection to uranus.plymouth.edu closed.
My biggest problem is my custom aliases only try to execute screen
, since I can't guarantee an absolute path, and my $PATH
is structured so the shell should find the correct one. If my $PATH
settings aren't honored, my scripts don't work. Is there a way I can use $PATH
as defined by my .bashrc
/.bash_profile
?
I believe PermitUserEnvironment
is disabled.
