-bash: cat: command not found (or grep)
Hi, Strange things:
i3: okn$ ls -R | grep -h "dof" | cat > dtext.txt
-bash: cat: command not found
or then I get this:
i3: okn$ find . -type f -print | grep -c
-bash: grep: command not found
but this is not happening all the time, i remember grep or cat did work once or twice...
What's going on here?
OS 10.7.4; repaired permissions
Any assistance much appreciated!
/ bw, Omar KN
'cat' is stored in /bin/cat, NOT /usr/bin/cat, which explains the file not found messages above.
HOWEVER, the information you have provided seems to imply you have the executables, and previous information provides says you have a valid PATH:
echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbi n:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
this creates a mystery as to why you are getting:
-bash: cat: command not found
-bash: grep: command not found
I have a couple of thoughts.
a) I'm wondering if you have any 'alias' statements in your .bash_profile (or .bash_login, or .profile, or .bashrc).
b) if you would get the same results should you rename your .bash_profile (and/or .bash_login, .profile, .bashrc) to something like saved.bash_profile, then restart your terminal session (basically eliminating any personalized shell customization).
c) what would happen if you created a new account (System Preferences -> Accounts) - basically a clean starting point.
d) are you executing these commands from the command prompt? Or from within a shell script?
d.1) if from within a shell script, is the script file the correct file format.
file name.shell.script
you want to check that the output from the 'file' command DOES NOT say "...with CRLF line terminators...", as that would imply the the file came from (or through) a Windows system.

(OEL 4.7) -bash: sqlplus: command not found after install of 10g R2
Hi all
I'm new to Linux and I would like your help and directions on a few things:
After 2 days of battle with RPM's (i386 vs x86_64) i was finally able to install 10g R2 on OEL 4.7 x86_64 system without any errors.
please check if all these settings are correct and help me how to start sqlplus? or create a database with dbca
I followed all the directions in Doc ID: 339510.1.
During installation i choose this path as the ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/
I did not however installed the default database.
I then ran the two scripts at the end of the installation as root.
Here are my settings:
oracle bash_profile:
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
unset USERNAME
:q
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=/product/10.2.0/db_1;
export ORACLE_HOME
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
here is my oracle env result
[oracle@nycoralp01 /]$ env | grep -i ORACLE
OLDPWD=/home/oracle/oraInventory
USER=oracle
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
MAIL=/var/spool/mail/oracle
PATH=/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/oracle/bin
HOME=/home/oracle
LOGNAME=oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/product/10.2.0/db_1
here is my echo $ORACLE_HOME result:
[oracle@nycoralp01 /]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/product/10.2.0/db_1
Can someone please tell me what did i miss or did not set?
When i try to run sqlplus i get this error
[oracle@nycoralp01 /]$ sqlplus
-bash: sqlplus: command not found
Any help appreciatedI change it in my bash_profile
$ vi ~oracle/.bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH

export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1;
export ORACLE_HOME
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
and i'm still getting the same error
-bash: sqlplus: command not found
Is there anything else i'm missing? do i have to restart anything? -
-bash: ssh: command not found = no ssh?
Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't the right category - this seemed to be the best fit.
I'm having trouble with SSH.
I've used ssh in the past (back when I was running Leopard) but I've never had all that much use for it. Today, however, I opened up terminal to SSH to an iMac on my local network, and got the following back:
-bash: ssh: command not found
Having a look around on the internet, somebody else said that they got this message but was still able to see the SSH manual by typing ssh man. However, when I tried this I just got "command not found" again.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
BrutalSpoon.Do you remember if you modified .profile or .bash_profile when you installed mysql?
I guess you could search for the file that has the modification
/usr/bin/grep /usr/local/mysql/bin $HOME/.[a-z]*
Once you find the file, edit that file and put a dollar sign infront of PATH
/usr/bin/nano /name/of/file/with/mysql/bin/in/it
The entry you want to fix most likely looks like
export PATH=PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
you want to change this to
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
The problem is the missing dollar sign $ which would cause the current PATH to be substituted before the addition of /usr/local/mysql/bin.
Once the change is made, quit Terminal and relaunch it. The corrected PATH should now work.
NOTE: If you do not want to use nano you could use TextWrangler (via File -> Open Hidden...), or Smultron (via File -> Open Hidden...). You should be able to find these GUI based text editors via <http://versiontracker.com>.
Good luck. -

ORACLE_HOME disappeared, SQLPLUS - bash: sqlplus: command not found
OK, I am a newbie but am having real difficulty with my 10G DB which I had set up on Unix Solaris box but someone was messing around with it and now I can't see ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_SID, they all return blank when I try to "echo" each.
I realise I should have originally set it in Bash_profile, but is now too late.
So how do I set them back up, I cannot get SQLPLUS / AS SYSDBA.........bash: sqlplus: command not found
I have tried to reset and export but still doesn't work.
I got the ORACLE_BASE as:
training:/export/home/training/product/10.2.0/Db_1:N
but can't seem to set the three variables to run SQLPLUS, any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Tried messing around to reset but nothing works, this is the present state of affairs:
env
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/3
USER=training
ORACLE_SID=training
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/app
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
PWD=/export/home/training/product/10.2.0/Db_1/bin
TZ=Eire
PS1=\e[33m\h\e[31m-\u-\e[33m\W/\e[31m-$\e[32m
SHLVL=3
HOME=/export/home/training
LOGNAME=training
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/app/product/10.2.0
Can someone help me, really need a step by step guide to set these back up properly.

Bash: SQLPLUS: Command not found
Hi All,
I'm facing problem during connecting to SQLPLUS in Linux Plateform Redhat 4.....whenever I write SQLPLUS, it gives me the following Error message
Bash: Sqlplus: Command not found.
kindly let me know, how can I get rid of this Error. Thanks
Regards,
ImranYour environmentals are not setup.
From the command prompt source oraenv
~> . oraenv
or (depending on your os )
~> source oraenv
Respond to the prompt with the name of your database exactly (uppercase/lowercase) as it is in the oratab file (/etc/oratab ?)
This will set your ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, and PATH variables correctly for your database.
Try sqlplus again and see if that does not work for you. -

I have 10.6.8. When I type "purge" in Terminal I get: -bash: purge: command not found Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks? I have FreeMemory (works well) and considering FreeMemory Pro, to clear memory periodically, say every 20 minutes, or preferably when a threshold is reached, say when only 100MB is available.
To get purge to work you need to install Xcode from Optional Installs on the 10.6 install DVD. Also be sure you install CHUD Tools with it.
But running purge or anything like it is pointless if within a short period of time the VM just grows back again. Sounds like you need more RAM.
Where are the memory leaks? Just because the VM reaches a certain size doesn't necessarily mean it's from a memory leak. -

In Apple's version of GCC, both cc and gcc are actually symbolic links to a compiler named like gcc-version; which compiler is linked to may be changed using the command gcc_select. Similarly, c++ and g++ are links to a compiler named like g++-version.

-bash: make: command not found
Help me please. I downloaded cdrecord because I need a tool called makeisofs but I am told that I need to compile it first before I can use it. The directions say to type "make" to compile it but when I type make in the terminal window, I get the following message:
-bash: make: command not found
I've spent hours looking all over the web for an explanation but I just can not find anything to help me. I even joined some IRC channels but no one types anything in those rooms. It is the weirdest thing.
Can anyone tell me why I can't compile? The directions I got with the download don't explain a thing.I found something that might help. On the second Leopard DVD, there is something called Xcode Tools which I am told has what I need. I'll respond if I have any other questions. Thanks for reading.
