That was weird, or is that how it works?
I had this executable "db_linux" in "/usr/local/bin" and this was included in the env variable PATH. But there was no execute permission for this executable.And when I did a "which db_linux", it didn't show me anything. I was checking the file, the path everything was proper. The I thought fine lets execute it with absolute path. In the process I gave execute permission for the file and executed it. Later when I tried "which db_linux" again, it was showing. May be that is how it works.
BTW, I use Fedora Core 13 v 2.6.33.3
Code:
[root@ahamed bin]# ls -lrt total 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 63 Nov 16 16:33 db_linux [root@ahamed bin]# which db_linux /usr/bin/which: no db_linux in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin: /usr/loca/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin) [root@ahamed bin]# chmod 744 db_linux [root@ahamed bin]# ls -lrt total 4 -rwxr--r--. 1 root root 63 Nov 16 16:33 db_linux [root@ahamed bin]# which db_linux /usr/local/bin/db_linux
Have a good day!
