It's sadly a big "not". I've never seen anything else than
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
in LC's $PATH at startup.
But the $PATH of *any* shell on 10.11.x (SIP enabled)
contains /usr/local/bin [because SIP doesn't allow to
install in /usr/bin].
Everybody could use Warren's comparison from above
on his Mac for that.
Is it possible, that LC's $PATH is simply set and not
been asked from the OS?
The following works for me.
function getPath p
set itemdel to colon
if "/usr/local/bin" is not among the items of $PATH
then put "/usr/local/bin:" before $PATH
set itemdel to comma
return shell("which" && p)
end getPath
