sh(1):
     hash -rv command...
            The shell maintains a hash table which remembers the locations of
            commands. 
[...]
            The -r option causes the hash command to
            delete all the entries in the hash table except for functions.
The same for ksh(1).

csh(1):
           rehash  Causes the internal hash table of the contents of the di-
                   rectories in the path variable to be recomputed.
