I only suggested using something in $HOME for "user" based scripts which can be anything it does not matter. It only serves to deflect from why is /usr/local/{bin,sbin} not part of the default search PATH? when its a FHS standard and has always been used for custom system wide installs? Obviously a competent system administrator can add this. However does this mean we should remove /usr/bin now to? since any competent admin can add that also. Mike
