I dont seem to have the pathappend utility I keep hetting
'pathappend command not found' on login,
I did a quick ls in /sbin. /usr/sbin, /usr/bin and it seems to be absent.
any ideas?
and is it best to put a serial before the extrapaths? ( I
have /etc/profile.d/10-path.sh and I made /etc/profile./12-extrapaths.sh (
suspecting it is better if paths are set first))
is this OK?
