I've never had to execute anything directly in /etc/init.d/ -- there is the
"service" command that runs those files for me, at least in fedora. you can
always modify $PATH by dropping a file into /etc/profile.d/ if you *really*
want this sort of thing to be possible. I would not want to see it in fedora
though.
