"The PATH problem"

[Schaible, Joerg]

Hi Soren,

Who has told you that? This is simply not true, but it depends on the shell
you're using.

sh (or ash):

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin
export PATH


bash or korn shell (ksh):

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin


c shell (csh) and derivates (tcsh):

set path=(/usr/local/bin /bin)
