For example, on my machine `cwhich make` gives: -rwxr-xr-x 1 cracauer public 618080 Dec 7 11:32 /usr/local/bin/make -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 123064 Apr 11 1994 /sbin/make lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 15 Apr 11 1994 /usr/bin/make -> ../../sbin/make lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 15 Apr 11 1994 /bin/make -> ../../sbin/make So, you can see if your favorite third-party tool hides an equivalent OS-supplied exceutable of the same name. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv #!/bin/sh TEST2=`echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` for file in $TEST2 ; do ls -l $file/$1 2> /dev/null ; done ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Private email Martin.Cracauer@wavehh.hanse.de Fax +4940 522 8536.
