How to remove the symbolic path of a command

Question

I compiled and remove rkhunter into /usr/local/bin/rkhunter After that I

yum install -y rkhunter

but when I try to launch rkhunter I need to /usr/bin/rkhunter because it keep seeking for /usr/local/bin/rkhunter

I watched into /etc/profile /etc/profile.d/ and bash_profile and see nothing

except when i'm running

whereis rkhunter

I receive :

rkhunter: /usr/bin/rkhunter /etc/rkhunter.conf /usr/local/bin/rkhunter /usr/share/rkhunter /usr/share/man/man8/rkhunter.8.gz

so how I could remove this path ? thk!

Answer 1

That is happening due to remembered locations in hash table of current shell.

To overwrite existing entry of rkhunter use:

hash -p /usr/bin/rkhunter rkhunter

Or to delete remembered location of rkhunter:

hash -d rkhunter

To display current remembered location of rkhunter use:

hash -t rkhunter

PS: You can also exit the current shell and login again to get new hash entries.
