Did You Know?

You can use a command by giving the full pathname to it. For example:

   ~amy/project/beta/bin/minder

This will run the command minder which is located in the directory project/beta/bin in the home directory of the user amy. The ~ (tilde) character is used as shorthand for the path to the user's home directory.
