Are you aware the *nix (Unix, Linux... whatever) reads your $PATH
environment variable in order from left to right and search for a
program in that?

/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

Your box will look in /bin before /usr/bin and finally /usr/local/bin
before saying it can't find a file.  

If a file is found in /bin it won't look in /usr/bin for the file
because it found it and would be crazy to continue looking in the other
paths.
