I noticed the following today:

nell:/private/etc barnes$ locate periodic | grep bin
/opt/local/bin/periodic
/opt/local/var/macports/software/openmotif/2.3.0_2/opt/local/bin/ periodic
/opt/premp/bin/periodic
/opt/premp/var/macports/software/openmotif/2.3.0_2/opt/local/bin/ periodic
/usr/sbin/periodic
nell:/private/etc barnes$ sudo which periodic
/opt/local/bin/periodic

this is, of course, due to the prepending of $PATH by macports (1.6.0) in .profile:

# Your previous .profile  (if any) is saved as .profile.mpsaved
# Setting the path for MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

I believe the 'periodic' commands of openmotif and /usr/sbin are extremely different ;). Is this sort of thing known/expected? Are there other conflicts with system commands? Or is this perhaps an openmotif port bug? Just curious.

thanks,

Brian
