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.

ali
ali(1) General Commands Manual ali(1) NAME
ali - list mail aliases (only available within the message handling system, mh) SYNOPSIS
ali [-alias aliasfile] [-help] [-[no]list] [-[no]normalize] [-user useraddr] [-nouser] [aliases...] OPTIONS
Specifies the alias file to be consulted by ali. You can specify more than one alias file, but each aliasfile must be preceded by -alias. In addition to any alias files that you specify, ali consults the system alias file /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases. You can set up an entry in your so that ali automatically consults an alias file. To do this, add the Aliasfile entry to your pro- file. See mh_profile(4) for more information. Prints a list of the valid options to this command. Prints the addresses on separate lines. If you do not specify the -list option, the addresses are separated by commas and printed on as few lines as possible. Instructs ali to try to track down the official hostname of the address. This can be suppressed by using -nonormalize. The default is -nonormalize. Displays all the aliases that contain a specific name. Instead of listing the addresses that each given alias expands to, ali lists the aliases that expand to include each given address. You must specify the complete user name that you have used in your alias file. The defaults for this command are: -alias /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases -nolist -nonormalize -nouser DESCRIPTION
The ali command searches the specified mail alias files for each of the given aliases. It creates a list of addresses for those aliases, and displays that list on the screen. PROFILE COMPONENTS
Location of your mail directory. Location of your personal alias file. EXAMPLES
The following example shows how the -user option can be used to list all the aliases containing the address Parker@Venus: % ali -user Parker@Venus Parker@Venus: Group, Reviewers, Badminton FILES
The user profile. The system alias file. The system password file. The system group file. SEE ALSO
