looking for .profile examples

I think it may be a permissions problem. Are you sure that you can execute the file in /usr/sbin?
What are its permissions? Are you just at user level or "root" when you try to execute this command?
When I look at my own /usr/sbin, there are several files that don't have world executable set.
Also, it looks as though the second PATH at the bottom contains all of the directories that the first one has. I would comment out the first one with a # sign. Then log out and log back in. I think you would be better served by this.
In addition, I would take out the . after the $PATH: That can be a problem for security, but I don't think that is related to your problem.
Your problem is either a PATH problem or a permissions problem. Try that and let me know.
it looks like you have HPUX. Here are some alias commands that I have setup.
# list of my aliases
alias dir='ls -la'
alias lt='ls -lt'
alias lrt='ls -lrt'
alias pp='ps -aef|grep'
alias lsfg='lsf |grep '\/''
Hope this helps.

pathalias(4) File Formats pathalias(4) NAME
pathalias - alias file for FACE SYNOPSIS
/usr/vmsys/pathalias DESCRIPTION
The pathalias files contain lines of the form alias=path where path can be one or more colon-separated directories. Whenever a FACE (Framed Access Command Environment, see face(1)) user references a path not beginning with a ``/'', this file is checked. If the first com- ponent of the pathname matches the left-hand side of the equals sign, the right-hand side is searched much like $PATH variable in the sys- tem. This allows users to reference the folder $HOME/FILECABINET by typing filecabinet. There is a system-wide pathalias file called $VMSYS/pathalias, and each user can also have local alias file called $HOME/pref/pathalias. Settings in the user alias file override settings in the system-wide file. The system-wide file is shipped with several standard FACE aliases, such as filecabinet, wastebasket, preferences, other_users, etc. FILES
$HOME/pref/pathalias $VMSYS/pathalias SEE ALSO
face(1) NOTES
Unlike command keywords, partial matching of a path alias is not permitted, however, path aliases are case insensitive. The name of an alias should be alphabetic, and in no case can it contain special characters like ``/'', ``'', or ``=''. There is no particular limit on the number of aliases allowed. Alias files are read once, at login, and are held in core until logout. Thus, if an alias file is modified during a session, the change will not take effect until the next session.
