I think people are trying to overcomplicate this issue asking about
commands like `file` and `type`. There's only 2 things that matter for it
to try and execute without an absolute or relative path:
1. Is it in a directory in my PATH?
2. Does is have the executable bit on?
If you want to convince yourself of this try moving a binary file (maybe a
jpeg or png) into something in your path and setting it's permissions to
755, you'll get something like:
paul@galactica $ nsa_smiley.jpg
bash: /usr/local/bin/nsa_smiley.jpg: cannot execute binary file
It tries to execute the jpg file because the above criteria are met. Larry
already showed he can run `bin/foo.sh` from within his home directory, so
the execute bit *is* set, therefore the only possible explanation is that
the particular shell he's using does not have `$HOME/bin` inside his path.
How to add that to your shell on startup can be a loaded question. Using
bash on Linux the answer is put it in your $HOME/.bashrc file. If you're
using a different shell I'd start with the man page of that shell. Also
note that there's various things that could make the shell you're using
different that what's in `/etc/passwd` (which is the same as $SHELL) so the
value of $0 is likely what you want.
