The type command huh! you learn something new everyday. As long as you are learning you can't die. At least that is my theory.
But the which command works on my FC3 system.
Yeah. But unless you are using (t)csh, it is better to use type, eh.
Example: $ type type type is a shell builtin $ type which which is hashed (/usr/bin/which) $ alias ll="ls -l" $ type ll ll is aliased to `ls -l' $ which ll which: no ll in (/usr/bin:/bin)
Now let switch to tcsh: % which which which: shell built-in command. % alias ll "ls -l" % which ll ll: aliased to ls -l
As you can see, it is better to use type with bash (and alike shells), and which with (t)csh shells only. You can't use type with (t)csh (it is shell builtin only).
