Consider also the following:

Code:

man bash|less -p'name sh'

Quote:

If bash is invoked with the name sh, it tries to mimic the startup behavior of historical versions of
sh as closely as possible, while conforming to the POSIX standard as well. When invoked as an inter‐
active login shell, or a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first attempts to read and
execute commands from /etc/profile and ~/.profile, in that order. The --noprofile option may be used
to inhibit this behavior. When invoked as an interactive shell with the name sh, bash looks for the
variable ENV, expands its value if it is defined, and uses the expanded value as the name of a file
to read and execute. Since a shell invoked as sh does not attempt to read and execute commands from
any other startup files, the --rcfile option has no effect. A non-interactive shell invoked with the
name sh does not attempt to read any other startup files. When invoked as sh, bash enters posix mode
after the startup files are read

The Shebang!

Hi, I always thought that #!/usr/bin/ksh means that the script would be executed in korn shell i.e. when we'll execute the script with this line as the very first line then the shell spawns a korn shell (in this case as we are using #!/usr/bin/ksh ) and the script gets executed. But I am...

Scripts without shebang

I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning . Does this mean that it will run on any shell ? Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ?

fish - the friendly interactive shell
   Synopsis
       fish [-h] [-v] [-c command] [FILE [ARGUMENTS...]]

   Description
       A commandline shell written mainly with interactive use in mind. The full manual is available in html by using the help command from inside
       fish.

       o -c or --command=COMMANDS evaluate the specified commands instead of reading from the commandline

       o -d or --debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL specify the verbosity level of fish. A higher number means higher verbosity. The default level is 1.

       o -h or --help display help and exit

       o -i or --interactive specify that fish is to run in interactive mode

       o -l or --login specify that fish is to run as a login shell

       o -n or --no-execute do not execute any commands, only perform syntax checking

       o -p or --profile=PROFILE_FILE when fish exits, output timing information on all executed commands to the specified file

       o -v or --version display version and exit

       The fish exit status is generally the exit status of the last foreground command. If fish is exiting because of a parse error, the exit
       status is 127.
