One of the sh scripts I used to run on fedora gave "xargs: command: No such
file or directory" on opensuse (the offending line was something similar to
"echo $variable | xargs command ssh-add -q").

It turns out opensuse (I think all versions?) lacks "command" as a standalone
executable.

According to some rando on reddit [1], command is required by POSIX... even if
turns out that is not the case, it's a tiny executable and other distros have
it: would it hurt to add it?
