This depends on your shell. Some require the use of the command
rehash
csh and bash I think are guilty of this. The real shell /bin/sh is fine
and will pick it up itself.
>From man csh
rehash Causes the internal hash table of the contents of the
directories in the path variable to be recomputed. This
is
needed if new commands are added to directories in the
path
while you are logged in. This should only be necessary
if
you add commands to one of your own directories, or if a
systems programmer changes the contents of a system
direc-
tory.
