* Linux Tyro
Not last but a doubt is that when I type:
linuxworld@linux-g34l:~> sudo yast sudo: yast: command not found
it doesn't work, but when I do type the following:
linuxworld@linux-g34l:~> sudo /sbin/yast
it works, just wanted to know the basic difference, and the same when I used ' sudo reboot' (didn't work) but 'sudo /sbin/reboot' (worked).
this is really simple, when you type a command w/o it's path, your system searches it's path, $PATH, for the command. It cannot find the command because your $PATH does not contain /sbin which is a path normally reserved for "root user", ie: require root password. you can display your path, $PATH echo $PATH -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
