Command which

HU Wen — Thu, 19 Oct 2000 08:29:42 GMT

Hello!

I would like to use the command "which", but the system HP-Unix 10.20 tell me "Unmatched ".". Can you tell me what it means? It seems to me that we should set an environnement varaible in .cshrc file?

Thank you!

Hi,

Use the command alias and check whether there is an alias for 'which'.

If there is no alias, execute /usr/bin/which which, and if you are getting a which that is not /usr/bin/which, the error is probably there. If this is the case, the order of directories in PATH might have to be changed.

If there is an alias, unalias it.

Bye,
Rik

Hi:

No special variables need to be set to use 'which'. From the man page for 'which':

A diagnostic is given for names that are aliased to more than a single word, or if an executable file with the argument name was not found in the path.

Does this help?
