Afterstep xpms

[R. David Whitlock]

>From the man page:

NAME
       which - show full path of commands
SYNOPSIS
       which progname ...
DESCRIPTION
       Which  takes a series of program names, and prints out the
       full pathname of the program that the shell would call  to
       execute it.  It does this by simulating the shells search-
       ing of the $PATH environment variable.

It doesn't appear that "which" does any regex search for the name, so you
will need to get at least that part right.  Locate, however, does indeed
search for the given expression in any filename or directory.  Locate uses
a locally generated db to search through which is usually updated via a
nightly cron job.  If you just installed something, however, the necessary
entry won't be in the db.  In this case, you can either do the more CPU
intensive real-time search with "find", or you can (as root) "updatedb",
which takes longer, at least in my experience...

"find" is _really_ useful for solving your own problems.  I highly
recommend reading the man page for it and learning a little regex.

later,
 David
