I think the problem with whereis is that is may return multiple files
with the right name. On my linux system it returns 4! Not all are
executable though....
How about a hard coding a couple of locations and then falling back on
the path:
Code:
--------------------
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/mplayer ] ; then
app=/usr/local/bin/mplayer
elif [ -x /usr/bin/mplayer ] ; then
app=/usr/bin/mplayer
else
app=mplayer
fi
--------------------
And to get an extra error message adding the following after the wait
statement:
Code:
--------------------
echo $app Not Found or Completed >&2
--------------------
