Startup script fails because program not found, yet works when computer is booted

This is my Bash script /etc/init.d/test: All it's doing is running md5deep on /usr/local/bin, which calculates the md5 checksums of each file.

#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/local/bin
md5deep * 2>&1 | tee /exe/zlog2.txt

When running it on my computer, this is the output:

root@beagleboard:~# /etc/init.d/test

I added this script to the startup via 1) crontab, 2) update-rc.d test start 60 2 3 4 5 . and 3) update-rc.d test start 99 2 3 4 5 .

The output of that log file is as follows:

root@beagleboard:/usr/local/bin# cat /exe/zlog2.txt 
/exe/test: line 3: 开发者_StackOverflowmd5deep: command not found

I have run into problems before where commands weren't found because they weren't loaded, but I tried starting it up way after everything else. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank You!

Put source /etc/profile in your script, after the #!/bin/bash line - this'll setup your path so md5deep can be found.

You can change the script to call /usr/local/bin/md5deep instead of just md5deep. Then you don't have to load anything else or modify the path.
