Command not found

BigTool4u2 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-08-2008

Hi guys,
I do apologise if this question has been asked before. I am currently running Solaris 10 on a x86 architecture. Now, the problem I am having relates to the issuing of commands, for example if I am trying to find out the ipaddress of the machine I would issue the command 'ipconfig -a | grep inet'. When I issued the command I got the command not found message. I know that is a valid command because I have issued it on my Mac OSX as well as issued it as root and it works fine.
Can someone tell me why I am getting this message whenever I issue the command?

As an aside, I generally get that sort of message if I issue the locate command if I am issuing the command as a user and not as admin???? Why is this happening.

Any comments would be appreciated.

In Solaris, it's ifconfig, not ipconfig

ifconfig -a |grep inet

If it doesn't find the command (valid commands), check your path - it may be different between accounts.

I should have typed ifconfig...my mistake. How do I check the path to ensure it's the right one?
