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

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

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。。。

它可能更简单，只是：

#!/usr/bin/env bash                                                                
set -x                                                                             

# if local program 'foo' returns 1 (doesn't exist) then...                                                                               
if ! type -P foo; then                                                             
    echo 'crap, no foo'                                                            
else                                                                               
    echo 'sweet, we have foo!'                                                    
fi                                                                                 

将foo更改为vi以激发其他条件。

尝试使用：

test -x filename

or

[ -x filename ]

从条件表达式下的Bash手册页：

-x文件如果文件存在且可执行，则为True。

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
