Hi Roman, The type command is the preferred way to do this. I don't think your example is ugly (maybe I have lower standards though!)
Note that in top of tree, type has a --quiet option, so you will be able to write `type command --quiet` Hope that helps, _fish On Sep 6, 2014, at 1:21 AM, Roman Inflianskas <infr...@gmail.com> wrote: > I want to execute a command but I'm not sure that it exists.
