In bash,

type -a mup
will tell you all "mup" commands known to bash, including builtins (for
mup there won't be any), shell functions, aliases (if any) and
executables anywhere in the $PATH (if any). If it doesn't answer
anything, then there is no "mup" alias and no "mup" in your $PATH.

Best regards,
Tony.
