Packages install

[Deleted]

After installing a new package..

Let's say I just installed SUDO.

On the command line when I type
%sudo

the result is

sudo: Command not found.

I know I can just do
%/usr/local/sbin/sudo

---------------------------------------------

Question: Is there a way to refresh the filesystem without a reboot so that I don't have to add the full path to the file everytime I want to use it? I know rebooting will fix this but that is not possible in my situation.

i guess u're using C-shell (csh,tcsh..)
when you install new port, program etc. type
#rehash (or %rehash)
and it's available to you w/o rebooting the box.

you can also just logout of that shell. ie. close the xterm, or su but rehash is the best. basically your shell hasn't found it in your PATH yet. there is no need to reboot the box. just need to restart the shell.
