Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Why Do You Need the Explicit Pathname to Execute? Post 302737307 by Corona688 on Wednesday 28th of November 2012 05:51:09 PM

That is a terrible idea. Never put relative paths inside your PATH. At best it's a security risk, at worst, it will cause things to actually fail. The shell tries to cache what programs are available when it runs, but this will not work right when things in PATH are relative. Everything inside PATH must be an absolute path!

Second, there's a reason the current directory is not included for running executables. It's not "missing", it's on purpose. It's to prevent people from dumping malign files into a folder you frequent and having you accidentally run them.

If you want to add your own scripts to the PATH, put them in /home/myusername/bin and add /home/myusername/bin to your PATH.

Use the sections command to find available sections. COMMANDS
list Lists resources. If SECTION is given, only list resourcs in this section. If PATH is given, only list matching resources. details Lists resources with details. If SECTION is given, only list resources in this section. If PATH is given, only list matching resources. Details include the section, size and compression of each resource. extract Extracts the resource named by PATH to stdout. Note that resources may contain binary data. sections Lists sections containing resources. This is only interesting if FILE is an elf file. help Prints help and exits. GIO
