Substring NOT found. $PATH is /home/charles/bin:/home/charles/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games. charles@white:~$ (I added the code to print out $PATH at the end.) Now, is ~/.local/bin present on your computer? It is not present on white, above. If not, what happens if you create it and then run test.sh? (mkdir -p ~/.local/bin)? -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
