The `SciTE` binary is so named on FreeBSD, and I think NetBSD / pkgsrc
as well. Many commands are mixed case nowadays. Try running:
echo $PATH | sed 's/\:/ /g' | xargs ls | /usr/bin/grep [A-Z]
On some systems it's quite a lot of stuff, most notably X, and there are
even more mixed-case libraries, scripting modules, etc. When I used
SciTE, I liked being able to use tab auto-completion after typing just
one character, and I would create lower-case shell aliases or links
myself if I wanted to. This simple perl script would do it, assuming
that ~/bin was first in PATH:
perl -e 'for $Dir (split (/:/, $ENV{PATH})) { for (`ls $Dir`) { next if
(!/[A-Z]/); chomp; $New = lc($_); `ln -s $Dir/$_ ~/bin/$New`}}'
Doing this for the user seems like a very Linuxy thing to do. What's
next, conformity to 8 character command names? ;-)
