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。

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。。。

我会尝试调用程序，例如--version或--help，并检查命令是否成功或失败

与set-e一起使用时，如果找不到程序，脚本将退出，您将得到一条有意义的错误消息：

#!/bin/bash
set -e
git --version >> /dev/null

我在.bashrc中定义了一个函数，这使得这更容易。

command_exists () {
    type "$1" &> /dev/null ;
}

下面是一个如何使用它的示例（来自我的.bash_profile）

if command_exists mvim ; then
    export VISUAL="mvim --nofork"
fi

这里有很多选择，但我很惊讶没有快速的一句话。这是我在脚本开始时使用的方法：

[[ "$(command -v mvn)" ]] || { echo "mvn is not installed" 1>&2 ; exit 1; }
[[ "$(command -v java)" ]] || { echo "java is not installed" 1>&2 ; exit 1; }

这是基于此处选择的答案和另一个来源。

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.
