cmd to run after installing a new FreeBSD package
Hi all, I read this here in the list, and (I think), read it somewhere in Urban-TieMann's FreeBSD Unleashed, great book. There is a FreeBSD command that you should run after installing a package, which will 'refresh' the path. After running this command, you will have access to the new package command (ie. lynx). It saves you having to logout and relog back in. I have used it once, but it was some time ago and have forgotten it :-( Any Hints...

After running this command, you will have access to the new package command (ie. lynx). It saves you having to logout and relog back in. This depends on your shell. Some require the use of the command rehash csh and bash I think are guilty of this. The real shell /bin/sh is fine and will pick it up itself. From man csh rehash Causes the internal hash table of the contents of the directories in the path variable to be recomputed. This is needed if new commands are added to directories in the path while you are logged in. This should only be necessary if you add commands to one of your own directories, or if a systems programmer changes the contents of a system direc- tory.
