Fwd: Re: Failed to execute child process (no such file or directory) ...




Sorry that you're getting this twice again, Thomas,
but I keep flummoxing the list-reply function (old age + brain tumor).

Hi,

Well, a short while ago with cron it helped to tell the clueless
software where the script is by an absolute path.
Probably:

        <command>/home/tony/bin/bid</command>

I just tried, and giving the full path in the rc.xml doesn't seem to make any difference.

Shortuts for stuff in /bin/ or /usr/bin/ [...] seem to work fine

What user started the software ? And when ?
I'm the only user on this system.
Does when really matter?
Every time/any time I get these errors now.
Was PATH already set to the value you are seeing in the shell ?
Yes, the $PATH is set in my .bashrc...
Wait.. Is this why I can start them in a terminal, but openbox can't?
Because the path is being set in my .bashrc, and, thus, only for shells I open?
When I switch to su, echo $PATH, of course, gives a different response
(includes /sbin/ stuff, but not $HOME anything),
If this is the problem, how to I get my $HOME/bin permanently in the path so openbox can run stuff from there, too?



Have a nice day :)

Thomas
