Hi All,
I logged into a sun microsystems server box, using both a vnc session and a ssh session. I am able to use "ifconfig -a" in a ssh session, but the same on a vnc session says that its a invalid command. how is this possible, when i am logging into the same box through two different applications?
Thanks,
Pardhu
logging in from console and from desktop uses different scripts to get PATH I believe. As taran said, you should compare the PATH variable on both and see if they are different.
or simply call "/usr/sbin/ifconfig -a" as a test...
Your profileis not set. This could happen after changes are done to the .profile and server is rebooted.
