That is also correct. I had forgotten. But, my original point is that it is probably better to specify the full pathname of a command. X=$(/bin/ls) will generally result in identical results as: PATH=/bin:$(PATH) X=$(ls)
But, specifying the full pathname also forces the command to be executed even if some version of the shell internalizes it or if the script somehow sources ~/.bashrc directly or indirectly.
