I don't have the initial message of the thread.

It is possible that you *had* /usr/sbin/smartctl, and your session still 
remembers it. So, check to see what is there:

ls -l /usr/sbin/smartctl

and then perhaps try a new session. Probably just do "su -" in a new 
terminal would suffice.

Also, verify what you have in /usr/local/sbin/:

ls -l /usr/local/sbin/smart*

Notice that even if your current directory is "/usr/local/sbin/", bash 
will look at the path and ignore the current directory when told to 
execute a program.
