I currently work for a company in Maine doing web development (LAMP) and systems programming using COBOL. *shudder* I am working on learning C#, but I do have a decent knowledge of VB, VBA, PHP, HTML, CSS, MySQL, Javascript, Bash and a few other little bits.

I am running AIX 5.3. I have made changes to a user's .profile file (added a couple of environment variables).
Is there a command that I can use to re-process the .profile file for a particular user without them having to log out and then back in?
