Just want to make sure I understand completely. Specifying the PATH variable means that the program will automatically assume a path for functions like cp or what-have-you without actually referencing the variable: PATH? This would make sense because the deceleration of PATH is the only place in the script where it is being referenced by name. Then again, the only place data_dir is being referenced by name is in the instantiation as well. Is it possible that data_dir is acting in a similar way to PATH or is it more likely that data_dir was just never used after it was declared?

mysql_fix_extensions
MYSQL_FIX_EXTENSI(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_FIX_EXTENSI(1)
NAME
mysql_fix_extensions - normalize table file name extensions
SYNOPSIS
mysql_fix_extensions data_dir
DESCRIPTION
mysql_fix_extensions converts the extensions for MyISAM (or ISAM) table files to their canonical forms. It looks for files with extensions
matching any lettercase variant of .frm, .myd, .myi, .isd, and .ism and renames them to have extensions of .frm, .MYD, .MYI, .ISD, and
.ISM, respectively. This can be useful after transferring the files from a system with case-insensitive file names (such as Windows) to a
system with case-sensitive file names.
Invoke mysql_fix_extensions like this, where data_dir is the path name to the MySQL data directory.
shell> mysql_fix_extensions data_dir
