one one of my systems, i get command not found for any command i run, from either terminal or ssh. i cant mv, reboot, vim, nano, anything..
i think i messed up my PATH var, but echo $PATH does yield results. hmm, wonder if i can wget paste. nope, command not found..
so on /etc/profile i directly edited it,
did something like this to try to set a global path to solve some pretty aggravating node_module npm issues.
NODE_MODULES=/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules
export PATH=$PATH:$NODE_MODULES
there may be syntax error on it. it hosed bash. not sure if this is the exact code, theres a couple unmentioned entries here.
oddly enough i can echo $PATH from both root (on terminal which is only place i can log in as root, su doesnt work, sudo doesnt work), and on ssh putty (as user, because i cant sudo or cant su)
i dont want to have to use a rescue disk, and frankly not comfortable toggling the off switch because i cant shutdown.
I know theres a way... suggestions?

Apologies if I'm being too simplistic here but what does your PATH actually return?
$ echo $PATH
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
$ echo $PATH
(see what your path is, append /usr/bin to it, see your path again)
edit - are you sure about that NODE_MODULES PATH? Are the binaries really in /usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin/* ?

If your $PATH is borked, specifying commands with full path should still work: '/usr/bin/vi /etc/profile' etc...
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

ahh good point on specifying with full commands. i had just restarted into a rescue disk and i knew i was forgetting a simple thing. this was it. thanks for the tip. Ill see if i can edit the files if that was indeed the problem.
and the path @oliver is echoing out the entire path still, sorry i forgot to mention that. that is the wierd part. ill get it for you when i can, or if i find the problem..

thanks, it worked to use full path, so heres my suspected failing profile. notice duplicate entries on there, yes... also, anything else wrong, like the way im adding to the path?
# /etc/profile
#Set our umask
umask 022
NODE_MODULES=/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:~/sites/js_codechallenge/node_modules/.bin
# Set our default path
PATH=$NODE_MODULES:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin
export PATH
# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
done
unset profile
fi
# Source global bash config
if test "$PS1" && test "$BASH" && test -r /etc/bash.bashrc; then
. /etc/bash.bashrc
fi
# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP
# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin
no $sign on 2nd usage of PATH?
so after cleaning it up a bit, will this work, or should i be putting node_modules which i want to test globally somewhere else?
# /etc/profile
#Set our umask
umask 022
NODE_MODULES=/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin:~/sites/js_codechallenge/node_modules/.bin
# Set our default path
PATH=$NODE_MODULES:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export $PATH
# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
done
unset profile
fi
# Source global bash config
if test "$PS1" && test "$BASH" && test -r /etc/bash.bashrc; then
. /etc/bash.bashrc
fi
# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP
# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH
lame, i guess the ~/ directory is wrong too, because thats in a userdir, not roots... or will ~/sites/js_codechallenge work for all users, if the directory exists?

yep still not helping, this is what i see as user
$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin:/home/wolfdogg/sites/js_codechallenge/node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt-js:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/home/wolfdogg/sites/js_codechallenge/node_modules/.bin:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt-js:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt-js
and root
echo $PATH
/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin:/home/wolfdogg/sites/js_codechallenge/node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt-js:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/home/wolfdogg/sites/js_codechallenge/node_modules/.bin:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt:/usr/lib/node_modules/grunt-js
that s... needs some serious TLC...
Can i turn this into an NPM / Path thread admins?

ok what a mess, i fixed it, multiple problems, i also noticed /usr/bin was missing... geese...
# /etc/profile
#Set our umask
umask 022
# Set our default path
NODE_MODULES=/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:$NODE_MODULES"
# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
done
unset profile
fi
# Source global bash config
if test "$PS1" && test "$BASH" && test -r /etc/bash.bashrc; then
. /etc/bash.bashrc
fi
# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP
# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH
# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin/bin:/usr/bin/node_modules/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
onwards and upwards, to the npm path issues i go now. . im going to keep posting here unless somebody want to split the post.... '

Stop bumping the thread: use the edit button.
You exported PATH twice in your /etc/profile, so only the second (without the standard entries) was used.

Next problem, which caused this in the first place. npm... see wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Node.js (first off i dont call npm node.js, and never had to adress it as such until now, so it would be great if we can have an npm package wiki that isnt under an umbrella of node.js. its not useful that way imo.)
So, following that it talks about adding this to your user bash profile..
PATH=$PATH:~/.node_modules/bin
export npm_config_prefix=~/.node_modules
this is very vague. first off, i want to install globally, -g, user not only needs to sudo, or be root to do that, but also needs to sudo or root to even install this package inside a website, as a dependency inside their userdir. this is where it gets confusing.
THis is where the paths get confusing too.
So, i have an app im developing out of my userdir, i want to install the package out of my userdir, so i do this
$cd ~/sites/
$ mkdir npmtestpathsite
$ cd npmtestpathsite/
