I would think it is there because for many people it is an alternative to which(1), which is also listed. (“type” does have the advantage of letting you find out that the command you enter isn't being executed as an external command even if there is an external command of the same name – consider test(1) or echo(1) vs. their internal equivalents.) > It seems to me far more appropriate to put it in 103.1 or in 105.1. There would be nothing wrong with putting it in 103.1, too. I wouldn't put it into 105.1 instead of 104.7, because it is useful to know about when you're on 104.7, and 105.1 is a different exam. I introduce my students to the “type” command when I tell them about internal vs. external commands in the shell, which is way before the chapter on the FHS. When we get around to talking about the FHS they already know all they need about finding out what happens if you type a command, including how the shell finds executable programs, so I don't even need to mention “type” when I talk about the FHS. That does not take anything away from the fact that it is a useful command to know about when considering the FHS, so mentioning it in the 104.7 objective does make a certain amount of sense. Remember that the LPIC-1 objectives do not imply an order for teaching the material – they just explain what will be on the exam. Once you're ready to take the LPI-101 exam, it doesn't really matter whether “type” was mentioned in objective 103.1 or 104.7 or both because you'll have to know about it either way. We can spend a week here bikeshedding this if we have nothing better to do but I don't think it'll make a big difference in the end. Anselm -- Anselm Lingnau ... Linup Front GmbH ...
