Remove executable from path












0















I have a script called teleport in my path. When I type tele and hit tab, I'd like for tab-completion to complete this to teleport.



However, there's another program installed on my system: telepathy-gabble-xmpp-console This starts with the same letters, so tab completion only gets up to telep.



If this were my system, I would just remove that one executable to improve my workflow. However, this is a shared server. (Accounts are not shared.)



Alternately, I could change my $PATH to exclude it. However, telepathy-gabble-xmpp-console is in /bin, and obviously I can't just remove /bin from my path.



The solutions described in this thread don't work, because defining a function or alias will still autocomplete to that function or alias.



How do I take a single executable out of my $PATH?



(Yes, I realize that this is a lot of work for a small benefit.)
