Sudo: command not found

OK, I got Jaguar installed and all updated on my trusty Wallstreet. the first time I installed it, something got messed up, and the desktop would not show up. So, I reinstalled, with a minmial install, then added in the BSD subsystem. I thought everything was fine, except the terminal would not display "welcome to Darwin!" when opened, instead, all I get is bash-2.05a$ when it starts up.
So, when trying to run some shell scripts (to uninstall something), I typed in sudo and dragged the script to the terminal window, and pressed enter. all I got was: Sudo: command not found. So, I tried the old standby, su. it asked for my password (yes, I am running this from an admin account), and all it said was su: sorry. I know I am typing in my password correctly.
the next step was to see where sudo is located, so i typed in
which sudo
and all I got was
no sudo in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin
so, from the looks of it, sudo was never installed. How am I supposed to get this back? reinstall the BSD subsystem, or is there some Quick and Dirty(tm) way to get it back?
I am not afraid to play around in the terminal, as I am a Linux/unix junkie.
thanks.

It's fixed. it was just a bad copy. I got another one, and now when I launch the terminal, it says
Last login: Fri Mar 2 19:53:49 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
[Leo-Titus-LeBron-Vs-Computer:~] leolebron%
and when I type sudo, it says:
usage: sudo -V | -h | -L | -l | -v | -k | -K | [-H] [-P] [-S] [-b] [-p prompt]
[-u username/#uid] -s | <command>
So, it all works. I knew something was different, as right after running the setup assistant, it ran software update, which the other copy did not do.
thanks for all the input.

-bash: sudo: command not found

     Hello all,
I have had WAY too many problems with this laptop, and at this point in its miserable little life, I've decided to just wipe the hard drive and start fresh, not caring at all what happens to the files left on there. As previously stated in one of my earlier questions (That was, might I add, never fully answered.), this late 2008 MacBook (aluminum) has a problem where it does not boot up, and just endlessly shows the gray spinning pinwheel. Four months later, that just stops, and now when trying to boot up with my normal startup disk, it brings me right to the Recovery disk and tries to reinstall OS X. I tried, it failed 5 minutes in. So I tried to wipe the hard drive, and it says: Disk Erase failed with the error: Couldn't unmount disk.   I looked it up and I saw that if I went into the Terminal and typed: sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk0 , it would unmount the disk. But whenever I type that, it says: -bash: sudo: command not found. I have no idea how to fix this, and I would really like to be able to use my laptop again without giving somebody my money to do it for me.
                                             Thanks,

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.

Sudo: command not found - damaged PATH file in terminal. How to restore?

Hi, I was editing one of the PATH variables holding file (~/.bash_profile or somewhere deeper), something went wrong and now terminal can't find any program (i.e. nano) or use sudo.
The problem is that to edit that file I need to be admin, but I can't use sudo. Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Select
Shell ▹ New Command
from the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked
Run command inside a shell
if checked.
Copy and paste the following line into the text box that opens, then press return:
mkdir disabled_shell_files
Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:
mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files
Your old shell initialization and history files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It's normal that some of these files will not exist, and therefore you will get some "no such file" errors.
Close the window, open a new one, and test.

[SOLVED] sudo and "command not found" problems

Ok, the problem I've got is this: sudo has suddenly started acting real strange. It can't find any programs. For example, if i type
sudo echo
It just goes
sudo: echo: command not found
And another problem I've got, is that as a regular user, it can't find programs in /sbin, or other "exotic" places. For example it can't find firefox, because it's not in /usr/bin or /bin, but in /opt/mozilla/bin.
Please, help me!

HT5627 when I copy it in the terminal, it tells me : " sudo: serveradmin: command not found "

what should I do ? What did I do wrong ?

This error?
$ sudo serveradmin
Password:
sudo: serveradmin: command not found
$
That usually means you're not logged in on an OS X Server configuration — which is separate from having the Server.app tool loaded onto the system, when you're doing remote management — or as Linc Davis mentions, that the PATH setting is incorrect. The correct PATH should look something like this:
$ sudo echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Server.app/Contents/S erverRoot/usr/bin:/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin
$
I wouldn't expect PATH to be incorrect on the root user on the server, barring some site-local tweaks to that context. But if there have been changes to PATH, then I'd add both bin and sbin within Server.app into the path. (This change should not be necessary, though. The PATH should have the correct settings within Server.app by default.)
If you're looking to use serveradmin on a remote server, then the usual approach is to enable and ssh into the target OS X Server system (ssh [email protected]), or to use ARD or related to push commands, or to use screen sharing and a remote desktop. ssh is by far the lightest and fastest of these options.
AFAIK, the command-line serveradmin tool doesn't do remote management. There's no obvious way provided to specify the identity of a target server.

Installing mysql:sudo launchctl: command not found

After several days of reading about:
Installation of MySQL
Enabling apache server
And getting phpMyAdmin up
I have run into an obstacle. See error message below **
I am Running:
'Mountain lion' , 'Mac OS X 10.8.3'
I have downloaded:
MySQL version. Mac OS X 10.7. (X86, 64-bit), DMG Archive.
Within this forum I found a very brief but helpful 'user tip' post.
Link1.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3082
Where this sentence lead me to believe I could use the version listed above.
There is NO version for 10.8
" Download MySQL from a local mirror. You want the Mac OS X ver. 10.6 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive. At the time of writing this User Tip, the current version is 5.5.34. By the time you read this, there may be a newer version to use instead. Open the archive mysql-5.5.34-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg. "
Following the instructions on link1, and all went well until
I am getting this error message when I type the following command at the terminal prompt:
**Error message
-bash: launchctl: command not found.
1. I cd - changed directories all the way back up the file structure to type the command
to see if it needed to be run someplace special but the same error came up.
2. I searched here on this forum and on the web.
3. I went back and checked over every step and everything that i typed.
4. I ended up typing the instructions below by hand
because somewhere I read that a copy/paste may insert invisible characters.
Excerpt from link1.
sudo vi /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysql.plist
Use the following content:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.mysql.mysqld</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe</string>
    <string>--user=mysql</string>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>
Can someone please explain what I am missing ?
Why is this command
-bash: launchctl: command not found.
That is launch c t lowercase L not number 1
An added note.
The following link also had a very nice set of instructions but unlike link1, this link uses the
'Preference pane' and 'startup item' which link1 discourages because it causes problems down the road.
I would rather use the command line and do not want to give up on this method.

Now that I am going head strong with this project, I hope that my issue can be resolved quickly with this community
so I don't loose my momentum.
Thanks a lot.

1. You are really a nice person. Thank you. I really want to understand these file structures. Sorry my posts are lengthy.
Thank you for taking the time to look at the original User Tip.
2. I hope that you do not end this thread when I tell you that I actually have gotten php running. These concepts are still very important to me.
I am not up to the point where I am using mySQL so that may end up another troubleshooting problem.
3. Last week and this I have been exploring my files with terminal by cd-ing up and down; using sudo nano to open the file to see what is in there.
I have included some things that may be useful since you have a much better idea about how these paths work.
4. If you have a chance - Can you elaborate. I understand a PATH. What to you mean when you say PATH environmental variable.
I think of a variable in the computer programmer syntax sense.
5. I also cannot find a .profile file anywhere. See the below.... where I found something....
4. Searching like crazy for the load executable. I cannot find it yet. I thought that it might be with the other commands in /bin
below are some exploratory commands I am running and things I find of interest.
I use ls -la to display 'all' files. I use -la to list hidden files. those that start with a dotFileName.
/user/local/mysql/bin
there is NO load executable here.
I looked around for 'load'
macBookPro: /shortname$ ls
cd bin
ls -la
lots of commands: launchctl mkdir pwd echo ....   i thought that 'load' should live here.
cd etc
ls -la
has:apache2 my.conf named.conf passwd paths php.ini sudoes nanorc
apache2 empty - title: new buffer
sudoers i have questions about this but not a priority now.
nanorc
php.ini
my.conf
name.conf
passwd
paths
sudo nano paths
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
I did not find the .profile file. what I have found is the below which references the .profile for sh(1)
I am unable to interpret the below file/code - well maybe a little.
cd etc
ls -la
sudo nano profile
# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

I opened the contents of the application and run the shell script for opening aplication there it worked very fine and application started working.. But if i open application directly through launchpad or finder it doesnt show up and console
I tried running those commands in the terminal directly there they work.. But dunno whats wrong in here. and even if try to open the application through the terminal it all opens fine.. what could be the possible problem, is it with my mac..?

i finally figured out the problem.. it is with the environmental variables. the path for all those commands like "grep" is not being set for the GUI applications. that is why i got that error.
for those GUI applications which require path, we have to set path in the file /etc/launchd.conf the environmental variables set in here are used by the gui applications and those which are launched through spotlight.
that file may bot be present in most of the macs. No problem even if not present,we can create one and use.
so type in terminal
$ sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf
and in the editor add these lines
setenv PATH = /new/path
and save. Note: replace /new/path with the path which you need to have for the commands used in the script.
remeber that you need to restart your mac for applications to use these environmental variables.

Locale-gen command not found

Hi everyone
I just completed a new installation of Arch on my netbook, everything was working fine but there is a problem I can not solve.
I managed to set everything as I wanted and put the language of my XFCE and Firefox in Spanish, but then (I do not know exactly when) all programs returned to English.
I already check the rc.conf configuration and locale.gen and everything is set for Spanish, but when I try "sudo locale-gen" I recive a message like this: "sudo: locale-gen: command not found"
I also have problems with the keyboard, I configured xorg and rc.conf to use spanish keymap but it didn't work
Any ideas?

TigTex wrote:I made one arch install that has this problem... locale-gen doesnt work (for example) but it's full path works. How do I re-set the PATH variable?
All the problems I had with the PATH, keyboard and using other language than english had solved when I stop using autostart X in inittab , if I login to the terminal and start X myself, then everything works fine.
I am still looking for a way to start XFCE at boot without having to enter my username or password and not having the problems I told (CDM looks like the better way )

[SOLVED]/usr/lib/arch-tempfiles line 106: install:command not found

Hi everyone!
This is my boot.log
http://pastebin.com/1gfynhSN
It says"/usr/lib/initscripts/arch-tmpfiles:line 106: install:command not found".This is leading to problems such as dbus and network manager not being started(even manually),no shutdown option,not able to 'open' log files without sudo etc.
I think a possible reason for this is that I had messed up with symlinks.I had issued the command
sudo ln -s /bin/install /usr/bin/install
.Then I had used
cd /bin/
unlink install
Now,I find that /bin/install and /usr/bin/install does not exist.(I have deleted them!) .How can I fix this up?Any help would be appreciated.

Reinstall coreutils (or manually extract install from the package and put it in /usr/bin).

OK, that gave me a segfault, so
I downloaded the package and copied the folders to root.
no pacman works but gaves me this errors afterwards:
pacman-3.4.1-1: description file is missing
pacman-3.4.1-1: dependency file is missing
pacman-3.4.1-1: file list is missing
how do I solve this?
BTW: should I make a bug-report??
EDIT: any package I try to instal I get this error:
erro: não foi possível abrir o arquivo /var/lib/pacman/local/pacman-3.4.1-1/depends: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado
(it's in portuguese but i think its understandable)

Rsync command not found

I am trying to use the following command in the terminal:
+*sudo rsync -a --delete "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"*+
but it's returning the following message:
+*-bash: sudo rsync -a: command not found*+
I have been able to run the command before but now it's not working. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it? I run this same command on another computer and it works fine as well, this only is happening on my wife's MacBook.
Thanks!

The fact that you got:
-bash: sudo rsync -a: command not found
is a strong indication that 'bash' saw 'sudo rsync -a' as one token and as the command it could not find.
Normally you should see
-bash: command_name: command not found
But in your case, it saw what I would have considered the first 3 tokens as a single command name.
The question is why bash did NOT parse 'sudo' separate from 'rsync' separate from '-a'? But instead treated all 3 as a single token.
Were there any stray quotes (single ' or double ") you forgot to mention? For example:
"sudo rsync -a" --delete "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"
'sudo rsync -a' --delete "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"
sudo rsync -a --delete "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"
Any of these 3 would have generated the error you reported.

Sudo: command not found
