Get full path of script in PATH environment variable

Solution 1:

You can use which. From the man page:

The which utility takes a list of command names and searches the path for each executable file that would be run had these commands actually been invoked

Solution 2:

A good alternative to which is the builtin type. The advantage being that type is also able to handle bash aliases and functions.

Solution 3:

which -a [nameofexecutable]

IE:

Macbook-Pro:~ njboot$ which -a chmod 
/bin/chmod
Macbook-Pro:~ njboot$ which -a nusers
/Users/njboot/bin/nusers
