Hello all, i have logged onto this box evereyday. today i begin getting messages that needed me to fully qualify a command.
this is the message i am getting:
userabc@dynomite:/home/userabc> envs
ksh: envs: not found

what could have cause the change. I have verified in SAM that my shellis setup as ksh.
looking forward to hear from you.
thanks in advance.

Hi Wamaitha,

This doesn't look like a shell problem to me, but more of a path issue. What do these commands tell you:

find / -name envs
echo $PATH

Do a "echo $PATH" to see what your current path is set to. If it does not include the path to where "envs" is, then it needs to be set either in your local .profile file or in the system wide /etc/profile file.

Do a "alias" command to see if your system administrator tried to alias the name.

Two things: we still don't know where the "envs" file is and there seems to be a problem at the end of your PATH variable. It's not supposed to end by :/o unless you really have a directory called "o" under /.

Find the envs file on the system first and ajust your PATH variable accordingly by editing it in .profile.

I think you simply "misplaced" the envs file...it might have been moved, removed or renamed.

By recreating or moving the file into one of the directories listed in your PATH, you should have no problems.
