When you switch to root use the dash to get root's environment, including
the path:

  su -

Then /sbin and /usr/sbin will be in your path.

Subject: Shutting Down network connection


On my one mandrake laptop, I can disconnect from my network (to leave my
office) by gracefully disconnecting from the network with "ifdown eth0"
and then later, after reconnecting the cat5 cable, "ifup eth0".  These
commands don't seem to exist in my RH 7.2 laptop.  Is there a way of
shutting down the network card, temporarily, and then restarting it,
(before unplugging the cable)?  I tried "ifconfig eth0 down", but no luck
there either.
TIA,
Mike

Thanks, Dave.  I have tried as root (necessary on the mandrake box also),
but I didn't think of starting with /sbin.  I'll give that a try in the
morning.
Thanks for the quick response,
Mike

They work fine for me on my 7.2 laptop as root. They're in /sbin which
may not be in your path:

as root, try: /sbin/ifdown eth0

I believe there is a way a normal user can control network devices but
I've never looked into it.
