No :/ I believe we could do something a _get_alternative() function: in Debian/Ubuntu/thelike it would check the symlinks in /etc/alternatives/, in other distributions we might ask whether they have something similar (also using external tools is good, just need to be sure they're there) -- and then, complete "vncviewer" depending on the alternative. something like case "$alternative" in: "tightvnc") complete -f _tightvnc vncviewer ;; "vncfoobar") complete -f _vncfoobar vncviewer ;; esac Obviously, $alternative would be handled by some other code there. Just my two cents, David -- . ''`.
