Spoke too soon...
Authored by: Gwyrrdin on Jun 06, '01 04:11:04PM
hmmm the setenv command was advised to me by a so called unix wizz kid. That's the reason why I use bash :) resync-> unix/linux sytems don't write changes t the filesystem immediatly to the disk, but keep it in a buffer.
% sync
forces the sytem to write the changes to disk, doing it twice is somehow better then once, don't remember why. with rehash, you tell the shell to recognise any new binaries you just installed...it looks for those in his paths with the following command:
% rehash
also, for some odd reason, do this twice:) Cheers Merlijn
