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

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。。。

仅zsh，但对于zsh脚本非常有用（例如，在编写完成脚本时）：

zsh/parameter模块可以访问内部命令哈希表等。来自man zshmodules：

THE ZSH/PARAMETER MODULE
       The zsh/parameter module gives access to some of the internal hash  ta‐
       bles used by the shell by defining some special parameters.


[...]

       commands
              This  array gives access to the command hash table. The keys are
              the names of external commands, the values are the pathnames  of
              the  files  that would be executed when the command would be in‐
              voked. Setting a key in this array defines a new entry  in  this
              table  in the same way as with the hash builtin. Unsetting a key
              as in `unset "commands[foo]"' removes the entry  for  the  given
              key from the command hash table.

尽管它是一个可加载的模块，但只要zsh不与--simulate一起使用，它似乎是默认加载的。

例子：

martin@martin ~ % echo $commands[zsh]
/usr/bin/zsh

要快速检查某个命令是否可用，只需检查哈希中是否存在密钥：

if (( ${+commands[zsh]} ))
then
  echo "zsh is available"
fi

请注意，散列将包含$PATH文件夹中的任何文件，无论它们是否可执行。为了绝对确定，您必须对此进行统计：

if (( ${+commands[zsh]} )) && [[ -x $commands[zsh] ]]
then
  echo "zsh is available"
fi

要像@lhunath建议的那样在Bash脚本中使用哈希：

hash foo &> /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
    echo >&2 "foo not found."
fi

此脚本运行哈希，然后检查最近命令的退出代码（存储在$？中的值）？，等于1。如果hash没有找到foo，则退出代码将为1。如果存在foo，则退出代码将为0。

&>/dev/null重定向哈希的标准错误和标准输出，以便它不会出现在屏幕上，echo>&2将消息写入标准错误。

我找不到一个可行的解决方案，但编辑了一下后，我想到了这个。这对我有用：

dpkg --get-selections | grep -q linux-headers-$(uname -r)

if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
        apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
fi

如果没有任何可用的外部类型命令（在这里是理所当然的），我们可以使用符合POSIX的env-i sh-c“type cmd 1>/dev/null 2>&1”：

# Portable version of Bash's type -P cmd (without output on stdout)
typep() {
   command -p env -i PATH="$PATH" sh -c '
      export LC_ALL=C LANG=C
      cmd="$1"
      cmd="`type "$cmd" 2>/dev/null || { echo "error: command $cmd not found; exiting ..." 1>&2; exit 1; }`"
      [ $? != 0 ] && exit 1
      case "$cmd" in
        *\ /*) exit 0;;
            *) printf "%s\n" "error: $cmd" 1>&2; exit 1;;
      esac
   ' _ "$1" || exit 1
}

# Get your standard $PATH value
#PATH="$(command -p getconf PATH)"
typep ls
typep builtin
typep ls-temp

至少在Mac OS X v10.6.8（雪豹）上，使用Bash 4.2.24（2）命令-vls与移动的/bin/ls温度不匹配。
