And on our machine, gunzip is in /bin
gunzip isn't a zcat command.
gunzip -c
gunzip --stdout
gunzip --to-stdout
are zcat commands.
zcat is the gunzip binary called with the name zcat thanks to the magic of
the hard link:
[root@xxxxx ~]# ll `which zcat`
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 50652 Feb 8 2001 /bin/zcat
[root@xxxxx ~]# ll `which gunzip`
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 50652 Feb 8 2001 /bin/gunzip
Change your
ZCAT_COMMAND to
ZCAT_COMMAND=/path/to/zcat
(use
which zcat
to learn what the path is)
