I have a FreeBSD machine on my SOHO network:

2024-12-26 17:23:08 toor@f5 ~
# freebsd-version -kru ; uname -a
13.4-RELEASE-p1
13.4-RELEASE-p1
13.4-RELEASE-p2
FreeBSD f5.tracy.holgerdanske.com 13.4-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 
13.4-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC amd64


I wanted to install the "rename" Perl script:

2024-12-26 17:26:09 toor@f5 ~

I installed the "rename" package (via a utility shell script):

2024-12-26 17:16:56 toor@f5 /var/local/image/f5
# install-packages -y
+ hostname -f
+ host=f5.tracy.holgerdanske.com
+ perl -e 'exit($ENV{OSTYPE} =~ /freebsd/ ? 0 : 1)'
+ cmd=pkg
+ cat /root/f5.tracy.holgerdanske.com/packages
+ xargs pkg install -y

My shell is unable to find the rename(2) binary:

2024-12-26 17:23:05 toor@f5 ~
# rename
-bash: rename: command not found

2024-12-26 17:23:06 toor@f5 ~
# which rename

2024-12-26 17:23:20 toor@f5 ~
# echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin

2024-12-26 17:24:24 toor@f5 ~
# find -x / -name rename
