Error

I am still awaiting answer to "Where can i find the bzip" package install path as posted in the initial post of mine?

Here is the output

Code:
 
bash$> which pfiles
/usr/bin/pfiles
bash$> /usr/sbin/pkgchk -l -p /usr/bin/pfiles
NOTE: Couldn't lock the package database.
Pathname: /usr/bin/pfiles
Type: linked file
Source of link: ../../usr/lib/isaexec
Referenced by the following packages:
        SUNWesu
Current status: installed

This helps. However the question regarding say "wget". How can I confirm if it is instaled on my system or not?

Code:
 
which

will only work when we have set that tool in the system path. What if it is not set in the system path ?

NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1). FILES
