"sh: pm: not found" - anyone know what to do?

[validoption]

On Froyo Kangerade 1.0, and trying to run the "pm setInstallLocation <0,1,2>" code in terminal, and i get sh: pm: not found. Also tried a pm uninstall code and got the same issue. pm is in the /system/bin folder, it's just not being called up, nor is it included in the list of scripts when I type "busybox" in terminal.

Websearch shows others experiencing the issue with Team Chaos Froyo and Birdman--so it's not limited to Kangerade--but no solution.

Has anyone encountered and overcome this? Any help is appreciated.

TIA.

Seems some of us have a bad mapping to system commands.

I did
"sh pm setInstallLocation 2" from /system/bin (invoking sh for shell) and it worked.

Wishing there was a "move all to sdcard" option. Do I really have to go through all my apps and move them one at a time?

This worked for me. The commands I used were as follows:

su
cd system/bin
sh pm setInstallLocation 2

To revert:

sh pm setInstallLocation 0

What's really strange, is that if I type su and enter TWICE, I get this as a prompt:

\w \$

And pm will work from there.

yes... basically you need "su" superuser permissions
just type su into sh:
THEN pm setInstallLocation2

I'll give that a shot. EDIT: and it worked, thank you!

Yeah, I suppose I should have added that I had already typed su prior to trying to run the script.
