>Environment:
Both -stable and -current
>Description:
If rtprio can't find the command you want it to run (e.g. because it
is not in the current PATH), it will output its own name instead of
the command in the resulting error message.
>How-To-Repeat:
# export PATH=/usr/sbin
# rtprio 5 ls
rtprio: rtprio: No such file or directory
#
>Fix:
Trivial: point err() to the correct argv element:
