Why do I get "-bash: splunk: command not found" when I try to run the "splunk enable boot-start -user splunk" command?

[dharveynswccd]

I log in to my Indexer as root, cd to /etc/init.d and then ran the "splunk enable boot-start -user splunk" command. At this point I received the error: "-bash: splunk: command not found".
There are a total of 7 servers in my deployment. When I run the same command on three of the other servers I received the following:
"Init script installed at /etc/init.d/splunk.
Init script is configured to run at boot"

I am not sure what the missing link is here. I will appreciate any assist on this.

Your PATH is different on the one server reporting "command not found". Add ":/opt/splunk/bin" to your PATH and it should work.

That was spot on. Resolved the issue right away

If your in the /opt/splunk/bin dir already then you have to do this

./splunk enable boot-start -user splunk

If not then you can do this

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk enable boot-start -user splunk
