When I first installed FreeBSD I was able to run "halt" and "reboot" as su without the full /sbin/reboot command. After adding a new path to PATH, I've been unable to run these commands without specifying the full path. Recently I tried to install acroread 7.0 and the installation complained I didn't have Linux ABI enabled. When I check /etc/rc.conf, I have: linux_enable="YES" I noticed that when the system was trying to make install the acroread port, it issued the kldstat command - then gave me the error about not having linux ABI. kldstat can only run if the full path /sbin/kldstat is invoked. Here is the output of echo $PATH: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin: /usr/X11R6/bin:/home/Dave/bin:/usr/home/Dave/apache-forrest-0.7/bin
My question is with /sbin in the path why do I have to specify /sbin/reboot, /sbin/kldstat etc.? Could this be causing my make install to fail? How can /sbin be in the path and still require a full path declaration for it's commands to work. regards, Dave _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
