Now that which is going, what's the equivalent command for 'which -a'
???
'command -v' doesn't show all instances of a command in $PATH.

As a sysadmin, it's one of the first things I ask someone to do when
helping them, to make sure that the system version of a command (they
say isn't working) is installed, and that their PATH uses it.

I know I can do:

OIFS="$IFS"
IFS=:
for x in $PATH
do
  [ -e "$x/$cmd" ] && echo "$x/$cmd"
done
IFS="$OIFS"

(suitably extended to ensure correct exit status) but that's a lot
harder to get someone to type in over the phone than to ask them to
type 'which -a cmd'
