export command not found

[rununix]

Hey,

I am using export command quite regularly at my workplace+home, but when I got to using it at school I cannot do so.

export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0
export: Command not found.

This is the usual way I use it in addtion to XWin server on my Windows side. This distribution that is installed at school is RH8.0.

So my next course of action was to find out where that export command is

and

which export returns a not found in any of my $PATH directories

so where the hell is it?

locate export

returned mambojambo amount of records, but no export

so that's where I am

Maybe you are not allowed to use the export command on those boxen? Check with your system admin. Sounds like a permissions thing.

sarumount,
How can we enable/disable built-in commands ? please point me to some good links or tutorials

man chown
man chgrp
man chmod
man umask
man stat
man chattr
That should give you a place to start.

so instead of export it is SETENV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahahhaa I am total idiot. It is obvious like day light.
