I know different shells source different files when started, I'm curious
to know which shell you are using.
(konsole, gnome-terminal, ...)
If it works after sourcing your .profile then I would bet you need to
have a .bashrc file with a line that says source ~/.profile.
Like Kitepilot, I too am curious to know what
which foo.sh
or
whereis foo.sh
tells us.

Prior to mu sourcing .profile, those commands showed nothing. Once I
ran . .profile, I get what I expected:
larry@hammerhead:~$ which killsol.sh
/home/larry/bin/killsol.sh
larry@hammerhead:~$ type killsol.sh
killsol.sh is /home/larry/bin/killsol.sh
larry@hammerhead:~$
so the question really comes down to why is .profile not being run on
login (I already said I do not have the two files which might prevent
it). This is Ubuntu 12.04 BTW.

I thought $PATH contained the series of paths searched to find an
executable file by the name specified on the command line.
Specifically if
my $ENV contains a $PATH which reads:
/home/larry/bin:<more paths>
that an executable file like foo.sh found in /home/larry/bin/
could be run
by simply typing foo.sh on the command line. What am I doing
wrong as it
does not work though it does if I type ./bin/foo.sh while in
/home/larry/?
