 |

When I start a program by just typing its name to gnome-terminal it usually starts. Why doesn't programs that are in /sbin -directory start like that. I have to go to /sbin and start every program there with ./ in front of it. How can I change this? I'm using BLAG 19999.00071.

How do I add it to my path? To .bash_profile like java?

edit ~/.bashrc and add a line like this:
| Code: | | PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin |
then: logout&login
Or if you don't want to log out&in do:
Note the initial "."
