***** NOTES from Russ Brucks (RUSSB @ KFOC-GRP) at 3/05/99 12:24 PM
Yes that works fine... Thanks... Question is, why when I cd to /sbin and
ran reboot from the cmdl, did it still report bash: reboot: etc.etc..??
Perhaps because I'm so nu to Linux/Unix I'm not understanding the ways the
PATH works... I figure it would start in the current directory, then if
the command is not found there, it would search each dir in the PATH. That
is how I am familiar with PATH.
Another question: how can I change the way su is setting up root's
environment? Sorry to pester with questions, but I'm learning! Thanks for
the help!

Probably su is not changing your enviromnent to root's, so reboot isn't in
the default PATH. Just type the full path to the process, probably
"/sbin/reboot" (check using the "which" command).
