RE: bash: startx: command not found ????

Thank you for your help.  I used a semicolon on my path.  Once corrected all
works fine.

Thanks also for those commands, I'll be using them in the future for sure.

If it was as shown, it won't work and _MAY_ be what caused the problem:

        :/usr/local/jdk/bin

is totally different from:

        ;/usr/local/jdk/bin

Also, it needs to be added onto the end of an existing PATH= statement
or added as:

        PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jdk/bin
