Linux at my work

I was trying to set up system path for Groovy and ended up having the following in my .bashrc or .bash_profile file.

export PATH=%GROOVY_HOME%/bin

when i sourced this, this resulted it corrupting my terminal, i was not able to execute any command, has the this had corrupted my path and removed all the required stuff from the PATH, this is like kalidasa cutting the branch he was sitting on :)

solution - fortunately export command still works - enter this command

export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"

your terminal is back to life again
