You may want to be carefull about making the changes in "functions". An
update may break your scripts, and leave you wondering what went wrong.
A safer way to do this is to add a line after:
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin
in the scripts that need programs in /usr/local/sbin.
