When one is logged onto a remote computer via whatever medium is used, it
is in some curcumstances a nesscesaty to type the full path of the command,
ie; /sbin/shutdown, some systems like slackware dont have shutdown in a
_user_ accessable directory, redhat makes symlinks from /sbin to /usr/sbin
for shutdown. Now you might say, i logged in as a _user_ and the su'ed to
root, well have you tryed 'su - root' today.??.
That should help with a lot of commands which you say dont work, i am not
saying it should solve all your problems, but i guess it might solve a few.
