Hello Ritesh, ok, this seems a different "bug", un-merging.

Yes. And $PATH isn't involved here :) I'm curious to know how this worked in 1.6.2.*, since that particular piece of code didn't change -- or maybe I just remember wrong. You should be able to fix this problem by putting a full path to a script -- those fields are not meant to contain any "command", just something like /home/ritesh/my-wicd-preconnect.sh (it could also be something different from Bash, if you wish -- it's run by python's subprocess.Popen()). If this fixes the problem for you, I'll proceed in fixing the manpage about it. Thank you, David -- . ''`.
