      Add function to search command in standard path
      
      Different distros install commands in different location. One of the example
      is iprconfig. Redhat and suse installs it under /usr/sbin but ubuntu places
      this binary inside /sbin. Current lsvpd code always searches iprconfig binary
      inside /usr/sbin as this path is hard-coded and call gets failed in case
      binary is not present in that particular location.
