append_path not found

append_path.md

Problem

Case you are having issues like:

/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:6: command not found: append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:8: command not found: append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:10: command not found: append_path

Then you need to define a append_path function in your /etc/profile.

Short explaining

There is a bash "command" called append_path which basically append path folder to PATH env. environment. For some reason, some perl scripts uses append_path instead of appendperl command line. To fix that, just create a symlink in your /etc/profile file.

/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:6: command not found: append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:8: command not found: append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:10: command not found: append_path
# /etc/profile

# Set our umask
umask 022

# Append our default paths
appendpath () {
    case ":$PATH:" in
        *:"$1":*)
            ;;
        *)
            PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}$1"
    esac
}

# fix for perl scripts (This will fix your issue)
alias append_path=appendpath

appendpath '/usr/local/sbin'
appendpath '/usr/local/bin'
appendpath '/usr/bin'
unset appendpath
