/usr/bin/which is a 'csh' script.

It sources your ~/.cshrc file, and there was piece that failed when run
in a non-interactive mode.

I wrapped the offending code in a test for $prompt, and the problem went
away.

if ( ${?prompt} ) then
....
endif

other options suggested to track down the problem

You can start by comparing the 'which' executables on two machines, one
that behaves normally and the one that produces the 'No match' messages.
They'll probably match, but it's good to be thorough.

	sum /usr/bin/which

Since 'which' is a shell script (and a fairly short one at that), you
can easily debug it; try the command:

	csh -vx /usr/bin/which metastat


Run a truss command on the which command.
For example:

	# truss -fea -o /tmp/which.out /usr/bin/which metastat

SunOS frodan 5.9 Generic_122300-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440



/usr/bin/which metastat

No match

No match

/usr/sbin/metastat



ls -l /usr/bin/which

-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     bin         1288 Apr  6  2002 /usr/bin/which



Anyone ever seen this behavior where the result prints two lines of no
match then the result?



None of my other servers are doing this.



Thanks
