Hi all, Just an idle curiosity for a Friday afternoon, but does anyone know which verison of which is included in the debianutils package (in Ubuntu Feisty), and why it is so woefully out of date?
For instance, on one of the FC4 boxes I have to look after, which is the standalone package: which-2.16-6 Which is itself somewhat elderly as even though it is still the current version it was released back in 2003, but it is far more sophisticated than the totally no frills version in debianutils. The reason I ask is because I was banging my head against the wall trying to remember what that command is that can expand aliases in bashrc files, because, you see, what I was thinking of is the fact that on other systems which is itself an alias: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:-$ which which alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde' So obviously, the answer to my earlier headbanging was in fact alias, but the one I was actually thinking of was which, which means I don't have to remember if a command is an alias or not in the first place. Plus I wanted to see how many times I could write the word which in seemingly odd places in one email whilst still being grammatically correct throughout. Maybe I should just go to the pub instead ;-) Thanks, Craig -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
