Command to refresh binary paths in CentOS?

Question

This is probably really easy and I just can't seem to find it.

I'm moving binaries around between /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, and even though both folders are in my $PATH, moving one binary to the other causes the system to continuously look for it in its original place.

Anyone know why this is, and if there is a command to refresh it?

I'm using Bash - the answer is below, the "hash -r" command. I didn't know about it. — Locane, Dec 23 '14 at 22:57

For bash

hash -r

should cause the shell to forget about the remembered locations.

Oh my god I knew it was easy. I've never heard of the hash command - thank you JasonAzze! – Locane Dec 23 '14 at 20:03
