Ok. More info. I did some web browsing on this. BASH automatically rehashes (recreate it's cache). No need to send the command (won't do anything anwyay) if you're using a true bash shell.

I did a 'man rehash' and got a very lengthy description of builtin commands, which includes rehash, so it's odd that it didn't work for me (unless I'm not using it right). So it's quite possible that the other gentleman is having the same problem. It could very well be that it's not as simple as just "rehash" ...
