checkexists() {
    while [ -n "$1" ]; do
        [ -n "$(which "$1")" ] || echo "$1": command not found
        shift
    done
}

扩展@lhunath和@GregV的答案，下面是那些希望将该检查轻松放入if语句的人的代码：

exists()
{
  command -v "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1
}

以下是使用方法：

if exists bash; then
  echo 'Bash exists!'
else
  echo 'Your system does not have Bash'
fi

剧本

#!/bin/bash

# Commands found in the hash table are checked for existence before being
# executed and non-existence forces a normal PATH search.
shopt -s checkhash

function exists() {
 local mycomm=$1; shift || return 1

 hash $mycomm 2>/dev/null || \
 printf "\xe2\x9c\x98 [ABRT]: $mycomm: command does not exist\n"; return 1;
}
readonly -f exists

exists notacmd
exists bash
hash
bash -c 'printf "Fin.\n"'

后果

✘ [ABRT]: notacmd: command does not exist
hits    command
   0    /usr/bin/bash
Fin.

如果您检查程序是否存在，您可能会稍后运行它。为什么不先尝试运行它？

if foo --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo Found
else
    echo Not found
fi

这是一个更值得信赖的检查程序运行，而不仅仅是查看PATH目录和文件权限。

此外，您可以从程序中获得一些有用的结果，例如其版本。

当然，缺点是有些程序启动起来会很重，有些程序没有--version选项可以立即（并成功）退出。

这将根据位置判断程序是否存在：

    if [ -x /usr/bin/yum ]; then
        echo "This is Centos"
    fi

which命令可能有用。男子谁

如果找到可执行文件，则返回0；如果找不到或不可执行，则返回1：

NAME

       which - locate a command

SYNOPSIS

       which [-a] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       which returns the pathnames of the files which would
       be executed in the current environment, had its
       arguments been given as commands in a strictly
       POSIX-conformant shell. It does this by searching
       the PATH for executable files matching the names
       of the arguments.

OPTIONS

       -a     print all matching pathnames of each argument

EXIT STATUS

       0      if all specified commands are 
              found and executable

       1      if one or more specified commands is nonexistent
              or not executable

       2      if an invalid option is specified

这样做的好处是，它可以确定可执行文件在运行环境中是否可用-这节省了一些问题。。。
