zcat is invoked by rmand with popen("zcat",...) (i.e. relies on the underlying "sh -c" to find it). My guess is that /etc/rc does not provide the proper PATH variable since when I start the daemon by hand it works fine. I'll go feed it a PATH myself at start-up I guess.

I've rebuilt & restarted RMAND on maytag where it now sets it's own PATH to a static one (rather than rely on inheriting one at startup).

Hmmm - too bad libuw or something doesn't include a C-callable showpath routine ... e.g. setenv( PATH, showpath(C_Command,T_Server, "standard", "man" ), 1 );
