I prefer type over testing for specific paths, to not depend on a specific location on disk. If nscd or other tools move from /usr/bin/ to one of the other directories in the PATH, I want our scripts to keep working. All the relevant /bin/sh we need to work with (dash and bash) provide a working type command. In fact, I am not aware of any Bource shell compatible shell that is missing it, but guess there might be some. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
