rebind /sbin to $PATH

re: rh7.2

i don't know how it happens, but every once in a while, the $PATH gets all screwed up.

currently /sbin is unbound so i have to type: /sbin/ifconfig .. or /sbin/ before any sbin command.

how do i perminantly rebind /sbin to my $PATH ?

i tried: $PATH=$PATH:/sbin
but that didnt' work.

the correct way is "export PATH=$PATH:/sbin"(if you are using bash)

thanks!

once i do that, will it stay for the next time i login or do i have to edit a .bash file?

it magically works now =)

Edit your ~/.bash_profile , and all will be good.
