That's weird, because I use comma every time I type something in my shell (on Windows, not cmd.exe, but FAR). Why? In order to make sure that builtin ",time" is called, not "time.exe", because FAR Manager would try to run the executable under the PATH, instead of the command.
FYI in bash there's somehow similar `command` built-in.
Say you have an alias that overrides `ls`. When you want to run original ls, you run `command ls`.
That's good tip to know! Thanks!
Wonder if you have /usr/bin/command - well gotta try it! :)
I believe `\ls` does the same thing.
Or, you know, fully-specified path:
When you override a bash built-in like `cd` with an alias, `command` is the only option.
