Hi Bernie,
First you could try to locate the date command using whereis:
fbsd# whereis date
date: /bin/date /usr/share/man/man1/date.1.gz /usr/src/bin/date
It should be in /bin as you see, which might not be in your PATH, which
you can verify using 'echo $PATH' and look for /bin in the output.
If it is in your /bin and /bin is not in your PATH you can add it with:
export PATH=${PATH}:/bin or
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/bin
If it is missing you could try to recompile it from your src dir. As you
can see from the whereis output, that should be /usr/src/bin/date
Try:
fbsd# cd /usr/src/bin/date
fbsd# make
02:07pm root@mars:/usr/src/bin/date $make
Warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/src/bin/date
cc -O -pipe -Wall -Wformat -c date.c
cc -O -pipe -Wall -Wformat -c netdate.c
cc -O -pipe -Wall -Wformat -c vary.c
cc -O -pipe -Wall -Wformat -static -o date date.o netdate.o vary.o -lutil
gzip -cn date.1 > date.1.gz
fbsd# ./date
Sun May 5 14:08:03 CEST 2002
fbsd# cp ./date /bin
et voila, your date is back again. Now you should be able to do a fresh
make world. Don't forget to run mergemaster afterwards, which allows you
to intergrate the changes in the config files in an easy way.
Gr,
