This is appropriate if you have a legacy of shell scripts that use "which." If this is for interactive use, use the bash built-in "type." It's heaps faster than "which." I've aliased type to "type -a" which shows all the programs with the given name in your PATH. Very useful. Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ph: +1-415-854-1857 fax: +1-415-854-3195 Say it with MIME.
