A trick from my .bashrc. This makes sure that the PATH does not grow
wildly because of the above when you have an habit of typing xterm &
from another xterm. :-)

PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:~/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
export PATH=$(echo $PATH | awk -F: ' 
    { 
	for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) 
		arr[$i]; 
    } 
    END { 
	for (i in arr) 
		printf "%s:" , i; 
	printf "\n"; 
    } ')
