Use the "type" command. The "which" command just searches down the current PATH.
You can override the Shell builtin by specifying the full path to the binary e.g. " /usr/bin/pwd".
There can be subtle differences when you are in a directory which is soft-linked to another directory. Try it.
I just set up an ftp server with Red Hat 5.2. I am doing the work, I'm baby stepping, but it seems like every step I get stuck.

I am looking to create some ksh93 extensions using the custom builtin feature.
I can successfully create a builtin function, load it using the builtin -f command and get an output. However, I want to get/set values of KSH variables from within my built-in.

Q1. I understand that /usr/local/bin means I can install/uninstall stuff in here and have any chance of messing up my original system files or effecting any other users. I created this directory myself.
But what about the directory I didn't create, namely /Users/m/bin? How is that directory... (1 Reply)
Hi Experts,
I found that the same commands(sort, du, df, find, grep etc.) exists in both dir.
What is the difference to use them?

Not sure if this is the right forum but I have collated a listing of shell and bash builtins.
Builtins is a loose word and may include the '/bin' drawer/folder/directory but NOT any
others in the path list.

Some question about the usage of shell scripts:
1.) Are the commands of the base shell scripts a subset of bash commands?
2.) Assume I got a long, long script WITHOUT the first line.
How can I find out if the script was originally designed für "sh" or "bash"?
3.) How can I check a given... (3 Replies)

pwd
pwd(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands pwd(3tcl)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
pwd - Return the absolute path of the current working directory
SYNOPSIS
pwd
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
Returns the absolute path name of the current working directory.
EXAMPLE
Sometimes it is useful to change to a known directory when running some external command using exec, but it is important to keep the appli-
cation usually running in the directory that it was started in (unless the user specifies otherwise) since that minimizes user confusion.
The way to do this is to save the current directory while the external command is being run:
set tarFile [file normalize somefile.tar]
set savedDir [pwd]
cd /tmp
exec tar -xf $tarFile
cd $savedDir
