Hi,
I am currently writing BASH shell scripts. I am using BASH on a Powerbook G4 running Leopard. Could somebody please explain the difference between
#!/bin/bash and #!/bin/sh?
I have been using the latter (#!/bin/sh), and things have been working fine. But is that the correct one to use... (9 Replies)
Do we need to include the exclamatory mark in the shebang line??:confused:
What if we dont include it??:eek:
Actually what shebang line implies when we run a script??
shebang line--> #!/bin/ksh :p (6 Replies)
*** EDIT: I found something close to my solution under an IIS 7 Module Handle.*****
(Non-Homework question, simply an ease of use one)
Odd question here and maybe its my newness to cgi/Perl, but is it possible to have 2 shebang lines?
I write an test a ton of my homework code on my windows... (1 Reply)
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... (7 Replies)
Hi ,

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 ? (16 Replies)
Hello All,
I was writing a Bash shell script that will be executed on both an AIX server (/usr/bin/ksh) and a SLES server (/bin/bash). The AIX server
has Bash installed at "/usr/bin/bash", which is in a different dir then the SLES server.
So basically I am writing the script on the SLES... (4 Replies)

RUBY-SWITCH(1)RUBY-SWITCH(1)NAME
ruby-switch - switch between different Ruby interpreters
USAGE
ruby-switch --list
ruby-switch --check
ruby-switch --set RUBYVERSION
ruby-switch --auto
DESCRIPTION
ruby-switch can be used to easily switch to different Ruby interpreters as the default system-wide interpreter for your Debian system.
When run with --list, all supported Ruby interpreters are listed.
When --check is passed, ruby-switch will check which Ruby interpreter is currently being used. If the settings are inconsistent -- e.g.
`ruby` is Ruby 1.8 and `gem` is using Ruby 1.9.1, ruby-switch will issue a big warning.
When --set RUBYINTERPRETER is used ruby-switch will switch your system to the corresponding Ruby interpreter. This includes, for example,
the default implementations for the following programs: ruby, gem, irb, erb, testrb, rdoc, ri.
ruby-switch --set auto will make your system use the default Ruby interpreter currently suggested by Debian.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Displays the help and exits.
A NOTE ON RUBY 1.9.x
Ruby uses two parallel versioning schemes: the `Ruby library compatibility version' (1.9.1 at the time of writing this), which is similar
to a library SONAME, and the `Ruby version' (1.9.3 is about to be released at the time of writing).
Ruby packages in Debian are named using the Ruby library compatibility version, which is sometimes confusing for users who do not follow
Ruby development closely.
ruby-switch also uses the Ruby library compatibility version, so specifying `ruby1.9.1' might give you Ruby with version 1.9.2, or with
version 1.9.3, depending on the current Ruby version of the `ruby1.9.1' package.
