Ok, I wrote quite a few lines why hash instead of command -v, just to finally notice this: $ dash -c 'hash zapdsb || echo foo' dash: 1: hash: zapdsb : not found foo which is ok... but: $ ksh -c 'hash zapdsb || echo foo' $ mksh -c 'hash zapdsb || echo foo' Wat! hash in these shells do not exit nonzero -- so good with my which(1) rant >;/ So I change my preference totally -- `command -v` instead of `hash` -- we have to fix the current uses of `hash` too... > d Tomi _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
