BASH command tracert/traceroute not recognized
see above subject. essentially, in ubuntu's terminal, i type sudo tracert/traceroute (ip address), and it says it doesnt recognize the command, even though it is BASH. i even try it without the 'sudo'. any idea whats wrong? do i need to use the 'root terminal'?

Try the following to see if traceroute is installed:
Code:
aptitude show traceroute
If it isn't, then:
Code:
sudo aptitude install traceroute

Not sure but maybe /bin is not part of a users enviroment PATH.
Try /bin/traceroute xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Or to find use ' whereis traceroute '

So if you haven't figured it out by now: traceroute is not a bash built in.

I thought (like most distro's), ubuntu would install these tools by default on the system.
