Hi all, I've got another weird problem which is kind of annoying. Say I have a program in /usr/bin, called fred for example. I can run fred and everything is fine. Then I create a file in /usr/local/bin, which is also called fred (say a wrapper for the real one). Since /usr/local/bin is earlier in my path it should run first. However when I try and run fred, it still runs the original version in /usr/bin, until I log out and log back in again. Also, if I log out and back in I can run /usr/local/bin/fred, but if I then delete that program and try running fred again, I get a "file not found" error, despite there being a executable called fred in /usr/bin. Can anyone explain why this happens? Thanks, Chris -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- REALITY.SYS corrupted: Reboot universe?
