But how to configure it so it can't faile ? Because i can run lsof from sh or bash without any problems, so how can the test faile (can't find lsof)? I tested the same on Suse 8.1 and it works fine. But on the other linux (self-bulid linux, main from www.linuxfromscratch.de) it dont get this working... Do I have to e.g. link lsof somewhere ??
