where do I find renice?
Authored by: barrysharp on Jan 21, '02 04:37:19PM

...also if one is using the Shell /bin/sh then one can use the Shell's (/bin/sh) built-in command 'type'.

Thus

> type renice
renice is: /usr/bin/renice

> type type
type is an exported alias for 'whence -v'

> whence -v renice
renice is a tracked alias for /usr/bin/renice

> whence -v type
type is a shell builtin


Mind you, type ONLY works if '/usr/bin' is defined in the PATH enviroment variable. If '/usr/bin' not defined in PATH then what you would see is

> type renice
renice not found

Hope this helps explains some additional background.
