2019-12-09 05:52:56 -0500 marked best answer What does rosrun do internally?

I was following this tutorial - https://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Wr...

Out of curiosity, I ran the listener using rosrun beginner_tutorials listener.py but ran the talker manually. That is, I changed directory to beginner tutorials, and ran, python talker.py.

I didn't expect it to work, but it did. The nodes are communicating with each other.

Is that a fluke, or will this always work? Is rosrun's job only to find the correct node based on the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, or does it do something else as well?
