Or, for bash, use the 'type' builtin:

[roam@straylight:p4 ~]$ echo $BASH_VERSION
2.05a.0(1)-release
[roam@straylight:p4 ~]$ which time
/usr/bin/time
[roam@straylight:p4 ~]$ type time
time is a shell keyword
[roam@straylight:p4 ~]$ type which
which is hashed (/usr/bin/which)
[roam@straylight:p4 ~]$ type /usr/bin/time
/usr/bin/time is /usr/bin/time
[roam@straylight:p4 ~]$

G'luck,
Peter
