Updating environment variables

Hi,

Do you know a way instead of logout and login to update the envrinoment variables of a centos system?
For instance something like env-update in gentoo.

Centos 5
I think the version of the centos doesn't but I 'll post it for completion.

Thanks.

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

Presumable you mean the environment variables for a user. It depends on where you have made changes. If in .bashrc, for instance, then "source .bashrc". I don't know any general way to update everything except to log out and back in.

Thanks for your reply pschaff.

If I want to update the environment for a specific application that is newly installed?
