I have a script that moves a group of disaster recovery 
scripts to /root/bin and as part on the script that does 
the moving I want it to issue the rehash command to 
activate the scripts I just put in /root/bin/. 

How do I get the rehash command to function inside a script?

rehash is a kludge to make the shell forget paths it "knew".  It
shouldn't be necessary in scripts.
