    I’m a little late to the party, but PATH should only consist of the directories, so it should look like this:

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/

      Also use “…”, i.e. export PATH="$PATH:.." so that it won’t break with whitespace in paths involved

        That’s true, although I thought you’re talking about including the dots into the path, which is absolutely not what anyone wants 😄
