clarify this. when you echo $PATH within a screen session, it is missing /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games ? SOmething's gone wrong with the setup of the environment scripts. As a temporary work-around, you could run them from within the screen session after it comes up. Do you get the same behavior when you launch a new screen within an existing session?
