/bin This directory contains executable programs which are needed in
single user mode and to bring the system up or repair it.
/sbin Like /bin, this directory holds commands needed to boot the sys-
tem, but which are usually not executed by normal users.

This is the primary directory for executable programs. Most
programs executed by normal users which are not needed for boot-

locally should be placed in this directory.
/usr/sbin
This directory contains program binaries for system administra-
tion which are not essential for the boot process, for mounting
/usr, or for system repair.
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin
Locally installed programs for system administration (not part of the standard OS build)
