---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003823) stephane (reporter) - 2017-09-05 06:58 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1161#c3823 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In a separate discussion (about whether "exec" or "env" may execute builtins or functions), we mentioned adding a "command -e" to only execute *external* commands (already implemented in "yash"). That would also be useful here as a "command -ve" to return the path of external executables only. About bash and non-executable files, note that the behaviour changes when bash is in POSIX mode. The behaviour is mentioned at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/85249/why-not-use-which-what-to-use-then/85250#85250 (messy article but with some valid points).
