The PATH variable should NEVER be used to pass a pathname to a script nor be used within a script as a general variable holding a pathname.

The PATH variable has a very special meaning to any shell based on Bourne shell syntax (including all shells that conform to the IEEE and ISO POSIX standards and The Open Group's Single UNIX Specifications); it is a colon separated list of directories containing the utilities to be executed by that shell that are invoked with no slash characters in their pathname.

If you are saying that you want the normal setting of $PATH to find grep, ps, and mailx and need to add /usr/local/bin to find sudo;
either:
  • set PATH using PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH", or
  • leave PATH alone and change the invocation of sudo to /usr/local/bin/sudo /oes/oracle stop.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
