I don't think there is an equivalent for "-p". But regular "type" is probably sufficient for this use (the "-p" is just suppressing aliases and functions). It would be nice if there was a more robust test in general, though (after all, I could have something called "cygpath" on a non-Windows system). I don't know what options there are to get info from bash, though. (I'd also clarify that I haven't been carefully following this thread, so take any suggestion or comments from me with a grain of salt. I mostly jumped in because it looked like there was a communication confusion). -Peff
