to
/root/.bashrc
, but

echoes

A:
Is pSX a directory, a file, or both (a directory called pSX containing a file named pSX)? If it's a directory, you need to enter the actual command name instead. If it's a file (but not a directory) then you need to remove the /pSX from the PATH variable.
Does pSX have the executable bit set? The OS might not know that pSX is a command.

a directory (pSX) containing a file (pSX too) and pSX (the file) has the executable bit set

A:
Are you logging in as root? If so, then you have no need for sudo.
If not, then the contents of /root/.bashrc won't matter, since the sudo command gets its path from the environment in which it's run. In other words, it copies your user-level path. Instead, edit the path in your user's .bashrc.

That's what the `sudo` command does. However, it doesn't run the `/root/.bashrc` script, or any other scripts in root's home directory.Basically, the path needs to contain the pSX directory before you run `sudo`. The easiest way to do this is to edit your user's `.bashrc` file, then run `. ~/.bashrc` (or log out and back in).

The full path to pSX (the file) worked. `. ~/.bashrc`, then `sudo pSX` didn't work and `sudo . ~/.bashrc`, then `sudo pSX` didn't work.

Did you add the `export PATH` line in your post to your user's .bashrc?
