I tend to use the "which" command quite a lot. Before I had time to install
bash (I just set up my machine), I had to use csh. "which" seems to be a csh
built-in, so I was very surprised to find that "which" stopped working once
I was running bash.
On my SunOS system at work, "which" is found in /usr/ucb, and is not a
built-in function. So, before I write my own verion of "which", is there
some source for this floating around somewhere? I tried to find some in
various places, but was unsuccessful.
If there isn't and I do end up writing such a beast (well, which isn't THAT
complicated), would anyone be interested in it?
