If you know that you definately have that program installed (say that you KNOW you have ifconfig installed so that you can see you IP info) but when you type it you get 'command not found', that particular command may only be usable through the use of a superuser account. Swich to the superuser account by doing the following: su - the hyphen is important - it switches to the root (superuser) profile. The type your password for the root account and type your command. If it still says command not found then it probably is not installed or you have the command wrong. Install it with apt-get or yum.

You may need to give the full path to the location of the command.
