What's the recommended way for testing whether some external program
$PROG exists?
:0
* $? $PROG 2>/dev/null [some options to make $PROG do nothing]
{ $PROG exists, and is able to run and exit without error *if*
appropriate options were used }
Is there a better way? I'm trying to test e.g. for a usable version of
awk.
Thanks much,
Volker
