Lemme see, you prolly did:
su root
cd /sbin
reboot
right?
Did you try:
./reboot
instead?
If you look, you'll note that "." is NOT in your PATH environment. This is
done on purpose, as a (sort of weak) security measure against trojans. It's
a good idea to not change it, but to get in the habit of using ./<progname>
if you want to run something from your current directory.
