Scriptwhich

Scriptwhich is a command-line utility designed to locate executable scripts based on their name. It functions similarly to the 'which' command in Unix-like systems, but with a specific focus on shell scripts and other executable files found within directories listed in the system's PATH environment variable. When a script name is provided as an argument to scriptwhich, it searches through each directory in the PATH and returns the full path to the first executable file matching that name it encounters. This is particularly useful for developers and system administrators who need to quickly determine which version of a script or program will be executed when typed as a command. Scriptwhich helps avoid ambiguity when multiple scripts with the same name exist in different locations accessible to the user. It is typically used to verify the path to a command or to ensure the correct script is being invoked. The utility is often included in system administration toolkits and scripting environments.
