    Shell doesn't recognize script

    Hi everone,
    I have copied a script to a directory that appears in $PATH but when I check:
    Code:
    $] which <script> .
    I get:
    Code:
    <script>: Command not found.
    I have checked that the script is executable.
    Any Ideas ?

    hi and welcome

    Is the dot at the end of the which command a typo?

    Also, can you please post the output of
    Code:
    echo $PATH
ls -la <PATH_TO_YOUR_SCRIPT>
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    I found the problem. I'm running under tcsh
    and after copying script you need to run 'rehash' command
