 |
|
After writing /usr/local/bin/some_app to overload /usr/bin/some_app, it so happened PATH priority didn't seem honored here.
So /usr/bin/some_app remained executed when calling [EDIT] some_app.
Things got fixed after runningwhich seems to reset a cached path for bash which itself overloads the PATH variable. 
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

By calling ~/some_app you're not calling any program in your $PATH, but instead some_app in your home directory.
