Answer 1

Run
echo $PATH
It will show alot of directories separated by ':'s.  Then run
locate kstartupconfig4 | grep bin
if the file is not in one of the directories in $PATH, then copy it to /usr/bin.
If it is there, run this as root:
chown username /path/to/file/kstartupconfig4
chmod +x /path/to/file/kstartupconfig4
I hope this helps
EDIT: If this is too detailed, I'm sorry but I don't know your expertise in linux.
