Another way, less dynamic but I suspect a little more robust, is to
use a deployment that creates/adjusts the right path to the right
command. For instance you can have a PHP config file with variables
that point to commands (full path) and have a deployment script to
adjust such values to installations.
I use this technique when placing the same application over sligthly
different servers.
