[thelist] Unix shell scripting docs

[Daniel J. Cody]

Add that directory to your PATH enviornment variable..

[root at boxen /root]# export PATH=$PATH:/root/yourdirectoryhere

you should then be able to type the program name of any program sitting 
in /root/yourdirectoryhere/ without having to type the full path.

If you want this to be persistant whenever you login, add it to your 
.bash_profile file in your home directory, log out, back in, and it 
should stick.
