Brock Rozen suggested that init.d scripts should have explicit PATH=... settings. No-one commented on the idea.
In general, all programs which make assumptions about PATH containing more that /bin and /usr/bin should probably explicitly set PATH; this problem is not exclusive to /etc/init.d scripts. So should we close this bug and put this requirement/suggestion into the coding guidelines (which may, one day, be written)?
