I have just installed FreeBSD 6.2 Release. I su to root and run pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui It installed fine I edited the ports-supfile cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup vi ports-supfile but when I go to run cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile It tells me it cannot find the command I logout completely then login again and su and I can now run the same command from the /usr/share/examples/cvsup directory. It seems the path is not being rebuilt or reread when I added that package but when I logout and login it works. I know I can type in the the full path and command but was wondering if there was a solution to reload/rebuild/reread the path so I don't have to login/logout/login env for myself is PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/smurphy/bin SHELL=/bin/sh env for root is PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin SHELL=/bin/csh Thanks.
