Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC Linux newby needs help

If you're in the same directpry you could try prefixing the command with a dot
slash, "./", or you could type, "source", and then the command as follows:

./EMC.RUN
or
source EMC.RUN

Are you sure these are in all caps? In *ix the names: FileName, Filename,
fileName, and filename, are 4 different file names, as the filenames are case
sensitive.

You also don't seem to have the dir containing the, "which", and, "modprobe",
commands in your $Path variable, where they can automatically looked for. I'm
not sure where that should be on your system. If you type:

echo $PATH

it should look something like the following colon seperated list:

/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

You can add to that list by typing it in with the addition as follows:

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/java/bin"

however this only works for the shell window you're in, and for this session.
If you want it to come up with the addition every time you boot/reboot, you need
to add it to your shells .bashrc or .profile file, in your dir. If you want it
to be available system wide, then you do that in the /etc directory. I assumed
that you're using the bash shell there.

Hope that helps.
