interesting, but
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-shell-find-out-posixcommand-exists-or-not/

says in the comments:

"According to The Open Group Base Specifications, `command -v` is not
completely portable and `type -P` is not portable either:"

i'am even unsure of 'hash', because it's an builtin.

And 'which' is also poorly defined: at least i can find
the definition for the exitcode under ubuntu 'man which'.

i'am lost - any other links for pro or contra?

bye, bastian
