The above command line worked for me.  What system are you using, which
shell?

Is this other user's path really getting set?  Is 'abc' executable and
is the content runable (in other words, if it's a script and it begins
with '#!/bin/bash', is bash really in /bin, or if it's binary, is the
binary runable for the system you're on)?

You might want to try using the 'echo' or 'env' commands to validate the
environment variables PATH and HOME.  You may also want to try running a
normal system command such as 'date', to see if that works.

Good luck.
