In bash, "shopt -s checkhash" tells bash to recheck the PATH when a program disappears from its hashed location. "hash -p /usr/bin/man man" tells bash to remember that man should be /usr/bin/man, regardless of the path. And "hash -r man" removes the current hashing of man, making the next use of man do a PATH search. (Read up on 'man bash' for more.) - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
