Very Computer

which:: command not found

but the cmd I want to execute simply works.

Then I try to create a simply script which has one line:

ls

And the execution results in

bash: which:: command not found
01  02  03  04  05  06  07  08  09  10  11  12

Where the twelve numbers are the file under the current directory.

Any clue ?

My guess is that one of the shell startup file contains a line
that uses the 'which' command with a command name that doesn't
exist, maybe like this:

export VISUAL=$(which emaks)

'which' is usually not a shell built-in command.

Thank you.  I haven't been aware of this.
