[clug] finding things on the path

[Kim Holburn]

I was trying to find variants of ping on the path, like: fping and 
hping.  Is there a tool for this?

Eventually I created a little script:

#---------------------
$ more bin/globpath
#!/bin/sh

SAVEIFS="$IFS"
IFS=":"
paths=( $PATH )
IFS="$SAVEIFS"

ls ${paths[@]/%/\/$1}
#---------------------

globpath '*ping*'

Anyone think of a better way?
