(svh+ssh) getting bash to load my PATH over SSH
- by Eli Bendersky
This problem comes up with me trying to make svnserve (Subversion server) available on a server through SSH. I compiled SVN and installed it in $HOME/bin. Local access to it (not through SSH) works fine.
Connections to svn+ssh fail due to:
bash: svnserve: command not found
Debugging this, I've found that:
ssh user@server "which svnserve"
says:
which: no svnserve in (/usr/bin:/bin)
This is strange, because I've updated the path to $HOME/bin in my .bashrc, and also added it in ~/.ssh/environment. However, it seems like the SSH doesn't read it. Although when I run:
ssh user@server "echo $PATH"
It does print my updated path!
What's going on here? How can I make SSH find my svnserve?
Thanks in advance
