Try specifying the full (or relative) path, like this:

$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk status
./splunk status
/opt/splunk*/bin/splunk status

Or if you are unfortunate and used Windows (you really should NOT do this):

$SPLUNK_HOME\bin\splunk status
.\splunk status
C:\Prog*\Splunk*\splunk status

For most Mac OSes it's installed on this path:

/Applications/splunk

So replace $SPLUNK_HOME in all examples you see with /Applications/splunk.

To start Splunk:

/Applications/splunk/bin/splunk start

To stop Splunk:

/Applications/splunk/bin/splunk stop

You need to run it from thebin directory..

Assuming your on Linux, run

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk start

Assuming your on windows, open your Services MMC and make sure Splunk is running
