ifconfig

When I try to run the ifconfig command I get this error:

[root@redhat kenny]# ifconfig
bash: ifconfig: command not found
[root@redhat kenny]#

How do I install it?

Using Redhat 7.2

it must not be in your path

i think it is /sbin/ifconfig

are you root??

It's in net-tools

jatimon, you were right it is not in the path. I went to /sbin and did a ./ifconfig and it worked great.

Now how do I get it in the path?

Its either change .bash_profile or .bashrc, I can't remember which, but that problem comes from the fact that you used 'su' to get to root and for some reason its either something redhat did, or something new in shell-utils that you keep the original user path instead of exec'ing root's.
