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.

On two different versions of Ubuntu, it's in /bin.

I think you'll find it's in both /bin and /usr/bin, usually /usr/bin
is earlier in the path so /usr/bin/rm is the one that will normally be
found first.

It's only in /bin/rm in case one has a system which mounts /bin
separately and earlier in the boot sequence and rm is one of the
commands needed early on.


ls -l /bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Sep 23 01:41 /bin -> usr/bin
