as a work around, from years back, to save having to type in command path, is to add an alias to .bashrc; alias ckill='/bin/kill' then you only have to remember differance of the 2. :-) also, when you get an error on issuing any command, note if error message starts with 'bash:' or just command's name. also be aware that there is more than just 'kill' to terminate a process; ]$ locate kill|grep man/man -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc.hago. g . -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
