Ubuntu: add personal path to the global path

My best choice when I want to extend the system path is to create a profile shell script in the /etc/profile.d/ directory with and extension of .sh . The content is something like this: export PATH=$PATH:/home/ikon/bin This way my ~/bin directory is added to the system path.  Check it with $ echo $PATH
