Hi!
The simple question: How do I find the full path of a shell command
(linux), i.e. how do I obtain the corresponding of, for example,
"type rm" in command line?
The reason:
I have python program that launches a detached rm. It works pretty well
until it is invoked by cron! I suspect that for cron we need to specify
the full path.
Of course I can hardcode /usr/bin/rm. But, is rm always in /usr/bin?
What about other commands?
Thanks for any comments/responses.

I'm afraid you will have to look for the command in every path listed in
the PATH environment variable.
erm, or try 'which rm' ?
You might but if you don't know where the 'rm' command is, you will have
the same difficulty in using 'which' command. Do not you think?
From a command prompt use the bash built-in 'command' :-
command -v rm
... and rm will just about always be in /usr/bin.
ok but I didn't suggest a very complicated thing:
for p in os.getenv('PATH').split(os.path.pathsep):
if p:
if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(p, 'rm')):
print(f)
