In days of yore, there was no convenient way to access stat(2) from a command
line, so I wrote a utility named, inventively, 'stat'.

So now, if I try to run some rc.d scripts from a prompt, they fail because
my $PATH is wrong.  Shouldn't rc.d scripts set their paths to /usr/bin and
/usr/sbin (or whatever) preemptively?
