Here it is:
------
[interbase@ojo interbase]$ echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/interbase/bin:
/hom
e/interbase/bin
[interbase@ojo interbase]$ ibmgr -start
Unable to complete network request to host "ojo".
-Error while listening for an incoming connection.
-Address already in use
check $INTERBASE/interbase.log file for errors
can not start server
[interbase@ojo interbase]$
------

So, yes it is in my path.
Hmmmmmmmm,
Ed
