CentOS /usr/sbin & /sbin

[Craig321]

Hi,

Could someone tell me how to register a path in CentOS please.

For example, if I wanted to execute e.g. ifconfig I have to type '/sbin/ifconfig' instead of being able to just type 'ifconfig'.

I think I need /usr/sbin and /sbin registered, not sure if there are any others that should be registered?

Thanks,
Craig.

Shell without path? Something's gone wrong. Are you using bash?
Presuming you are regular user put into .profile (as in: $HOME/.profile) :

export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin

then execute

. $HOME/.profile

I'm just using GNOME terminal at the moment (Cent OS default) and it's been like that since I installed - I noticed it even before I started installing my programs

Those commands went through, but it seems they did nothing. I also had to create $HOME/.profile manually - it didn't exist before.

Still not working
