The $PATH that goes into the environment must be colon separated, or a LOT of stuff will mishandle it. Including the likes of execlp()/execvp(). (Shells should handle this; after all, csh's $path is space separated / a csh list, but $PATH in the environment is correctly colon separated.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
