This question is based on the thread.
I have the shell function
function man()
{
man "$1" > /tmp/manual; less /tmp/manual
}
The problem is there exists the command man.
How can you replace the command with my command?

Replace man "$1" with the pathname: /usr/bin/man. Or change it to use 'which man' within backquotes. Then run your script in the current shell. On bash/ksh you need to save your script in some file, say man.sh and then run it as '. ./man.sh'.
cat > man.sh
function man()
{
/usr/bin/man "$1" > /tmp/manual; less /tmp/manual
}
^D
. ./man.sh
You get the idea. You can undefine the function at any time: unset -f man
