From bash:

duane AT USD22C821 ~
$ which cat
/usr/bin/cat

duane AT USD22C821 ~
$ sh
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ which cat
/usr/bin/cat
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ /usr/bin/cat /etc/passwd
/usr/bin/cat: not found
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
