Hi!
The simple question: How do I find the full path of a shell command
(linux), i.e. how do I obtain the corresponding of, for example,
"type rm" in command line?
The reason:
I have python program that launches a detached rm. It works pretty well
until it is invoked by cron! I suspect that for cron we need to specify
the full path.
Of course I can hardcode /usr/bin/rm. But, is rm always in /usr/bin?
What about other commands?
Thanks for any comments/responses.
Paulo
