Problem starting a script from a 'main'-script

Please Help!

I have a main script (ksh) where another script is called (convert_picture). Normally this works ok, but since some changes has been made on the unix-server (I dont know what ) suddenly it doesnt work anymore: i get an error message: ksh: convert_picture not found. I am logged in as the owner of all the scripts (and tools) so the rights are ok.

The line in the main-script looks like this (the script is been called wihtout sh or ./ and this usually worked ok):
convert_picture original_picture.jpg thumbnail.jpg

and the content of convert_picture (here a tool called Alchemy is called):

nice alchemy -j --y -Xb124 -Yb88 -+ -Q -o "$1" "$2"


What I don't understand is: I can see the file with ls of the vi editor, but when I try to execute it, it says 'not found'

Thanx in advance

It sounds as though you (or someone else) updated your PATH. Have a look in your home directory at your .profile (assuming you are using Korn shell). Check to see that your PATH includes your home directory (or whatever the path is to where your shell is located). If you make any updates to your path, be sure to source your profile. Exampe: From your home directory ./.profile
