Makes two of us. ;-)

I found _Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther_. It might help.



From my Terminal I get this: echo $PATH /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

From shell() on Rev 2.2 I get this:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/dar

OK. So two paths are being looked at depending on whether we are in Terminal or RR. Any more guidance on this from Unix gurus would be appreciated.

Well, until a guru weighs in... I found in the above reference that bash looks at both /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc. Then it looks in .profile. I have no .profile, the best I can tell. Maybe you have one and it adds the paths. Maybe you can get your shell to look at it or maybe you can switch to absolute paths.


An alternate way to shell is to use appleScript to get to a shell.
