Our Unix guys create 'safe' versions of normal utilities and installed them in a special folder. So, we use the full path to invoke them from *that* folder. Some commands get logged to audit files. I'd say, yeah, specify full path, you don't loose much (well some electrons, but who cares).

One more question...Do I always need to specify the full path of a Unix command e.g /usr/bin/mv rather then just mv That is something I don't currently need to do when using an external procedure.
