You're right, but whereas « hash », « whence » is not described in POSIX, so I've been using to use the first to check crucial utilities some of my scripts are made around are installed before letting these ones process anything. The fact « hash » will moreover optimize the further callings is a (tiny) plus. But well, maybe now my shell scripting tends to be more and more mkshed, I could change this. :) > […] > Thanks for reporting! Glad to be (sometimes) useful!
