Command not found

Question

I am trying to stop a syslog using chkconfig but bash says that command is not available. But when I do

man chkconfig

it opens man page.

This is the command i'm trying to execute.

**chkconfig syslog off && /etc/init.d/syslog stop**

You don't have chkconfig in your $PATH,

If you get your root prompt through su, try su - instead.

But anyway, export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin will fix this issue
