The title says it all. I was working on a red hat server at my work, I always use the foreach there. However, when I tried it on both my work stations that has ubuntu and fedora, it doesn't have the foreach command in it.

I tried to type in which foreach in the redhat server and it says that it's a built in command.

How can I get the foreach command to my fedora and ubuntu workstations?

If it's a built-in command, that means it's part of whatever shell you're using. Bash doesn't have an explicit "foreach". The "for" command is a foreach in practice.
Bash man page:
for name [ [ in [ word ... ] ] ; ] do list ; done
The list of words following in is expanded, generating a list of items. The variable name is set to each element of this list in turn, and list is executed each time. If the in word is omitted, the for command executes list once for each positional parameter that is set.

I wonder if your Fedora server has "foreach" as an alias for "for"?

Ah! Were you using csh on your Fedora server rather than bash?

Yes. What shell are you running on the Red Hat server at work, and what shell(s) are you running on the workstations?

foreach is a built-in in the c shell (csh), and, as stated, does not exist in bash.
