shell script question

[Erik Price]

Hi,

I am probably overlooking something obvious but it seems that when I try 
to execute a command-line "for" loop, the "do command" part is not 
executed from the current directory.  Is that normal?  Here is what I mean:

[erikprice at host:/home/erikprice]$ for i in `ls`; do "`which du` -khs 
$i"; done
bash: /bin/du -khs bak: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs bin: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs cvs: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs dev: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs docs: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs down: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs ip-up: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs java: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs mail: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs pub: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs public_html: No such file or directory
bash: /bin/du -khs tmp: No such file or directory

As you can see in the above, I've had to put `which du` in the "do" 
section (because for some reason the "du" command isn't found if I don't 
specify an absolute path), and the filename arguments passed to the "do" 
section aren't found.  If I just type "du -khs bak" then it works fine.

My shell is bash 2.05 and I set my $PATH in ~/.bashrc (Gentoo Linux).

Thanks,

Erik
