I know different shells source different files when started, I'm
curious to know which shell you are using.<br>
(konsole, gnome-terminal, ...)<br>
<br>
If it works after sourcing your .profile then I would bet you need
to have a .bashrc file with a line that says source ~/.profile.<br>
<br>
Like Kitepilot, I too am curious to know what<br>
<br>
which foo.sh <br>
or<br>
whereis foo.sh<br>
<br>
tells us.<br>

<div>Prior to mu sourcing .profile, those commands showed
nothing. Once I ran . .profile, I get what I expected:<br>
<br>
larry@hammerhead:~$ which killsol.sh<br>
/home/larry/bin/killsol.sh<br>
larry@hammerhead:~$ type killsol.sh<br>
killsol.sh is /home/larry/bin/killsol.sh<br>
larry@hammerhead:~$ <br>
<br>
</div>
so the question really comes down to why is .profile not being
run on login (I already said I do not have the two files which
might prevent it). This is Ubuntu 12.04 BTW.<br>

I thought $PATH contained the series of paths searched
to find an<br>
executable file by the name specified on the command
line. Specifically if<br>
my $ENV contains a $PATH which reads: <br>
/home/larry/bin:<more paths> <br>
that an executable file like foo.sh found in
/home/larry/bin/ could be run<br>
by simply typing foo.sh on the command line. What am
I doing wrong as it<br>
does not work though it does if I type ./bin/foo.sh
while in /home/larry/? <br>
