Sorry to interrupt

But If i don't have this /usr/bin/mt command in
Redhat, I only get this command from another eg:
debian or 
freebsd

how can I know the package for this command from
Redhat to install?

Thank you

Hi, as noted, if you don't have the rpm installed the "rpm -qf" won't
work.


To workaround this, install the rpmdb package.  This package keeps track
of all redhat files and their associated rpm. The down side is you must
know the full path to it which could be tricky.  If the path is unknown
I try:
Google or obvious paths ie; /usr/sbin, /sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, or pound
my head against the screen. 

# rpm --redhatprovides /bin/mt
