On RHEL/CentOS, /usr/bin/open is a symlink for /usr/bin/openvt. I'd
like to call a shell script I've written "open". What software, if
any, would break by having said script in ~/bin and having ~/bin first
in my path?
Why not put it in /usr/local/bin/open ?
Should alreasy be first in you path.
Otoh well written software will be using "/usr/bin/opevt" instead of
relying on $PATH and a symlink.

I could put it there, but given that it is a "personal" script—that
is, of use only to me, and hardwired assuming such—~/bin is more appropriate.

This is my question; whether any such non well-written software exists
as stock (or from common other sources, like EPEL or CentOS Plus) for RHEL/CentOS.
