In my /home/joe/bin directory, I have hundreds of shell scripts that I use for various utilities. Recently, thanks to advice from Matt Graham, I added these lines to .bashrc which got most of those utilities to work: export PATH=/home/joe/path:$PATH However, one of the files in /home/joe/bin is a proprietary binary file named 'readin' that functions like a "hot key" It works fine on my other Linux boxes, but since I copied my entire 'bin' directory onto another Linux machine, I can't get 'readin' to work on this machine. In fact, it cannot even be "found" even though it is certainly there in /home/joe/bin ... but when I type readin at the command line, I get this message: joe@drifter:~/bin$ /home/joe/bin/readin bash: /home/joe/bin/readin: No such file or directory Hope someone can explain why 'readin' is not found when it is actually there. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
