Isn't the use of "which" wrong, anyway? "which" belongs to csh/tcsh, and tells you about csh's/tcsh's idea about a command or a csh command alias. IMO, for a /bin/sh (or bash) script, using the "type" command would be a better idea.
"which" returns the first path, "type" returns all paths. # type awk awk is /bin/awk awk is /usr/bin/awk # which awk /bin/awk # type foo -bash: type: foo: not found Either way would work, but even with "type", it still needs to be "type foo 2>/dev/null". Thanks, Jeff.
