bash: setenv: command not found
 
i can not run setenv or path commands. I tried to search earlier post, they did not seem to work.

Plz suggest.

setenv is a shell built in function for the c shell and the tc shell. bash DOES have the printenv command as a shell built in function.
Code:
root> sentenv
-bash: sentenv: command not found
root> /usr/bin/tcsh
...
root# setenv
LESSKEY=/etc/lesskey.bin
NNTPSERVER=fart
INFODIR=/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/info
MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/opt/gnome/share/man
...
_=/usr/bin/tcsh
VENDOR=suse
GROUP=root

Could be your /sbin directory isn't in your PATH - which dictates which directories your system looks in for programs to execute from the CLI.

Try

/sbin/setenv [yourstuff] ...

See if that works

It won't work. /sbin/setenv doesn't exist.

As stress_junkie already pointed, setenv is a csh builtin command, which means it is processed internally by this shell.

Use the export builtin with bourne shells.
