You can always run it with its full pathname: tcsh> sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/foo.sh start > How do I make the system aware? Refresh the commands list? > Any reading material on this? Are you using tcsh as your login shell? If yes, just run: tcsh> rehash This should 'refresh' tcsh's idea of what commands are available. I don't remember about zsh, but I think it has a 'rehash' command too. GNU bash should take care of this automagically. - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you have the standard shell (csh) then a simple % rehash would do.
