How to start powershell with shebang from windows/cygwin/bash?
I would like to the the windws8/cygwin/bash shebang feature to start a powershell script.
I do a "chmod +x set-sound.ps1"
and then at a bash prompt I do
./set-sound.ps1
The first line of ./set-sound.ps1
The result is the result:
The problem is that powershell needs this strange switch so it will execute (it is a mystery to me why this is not the default).
Can someone help me configure bash so it can use the shebang to start powershell?
Thanks

Hmmm.... I love these forums because I always get great prompt responses and I want to ask a question about running bash on windows. Is that allowed?
Now I know I can install cygwin cron and run bash that way.
Can I run bash from windows schedule task? How?
thanks

So basically I am writing the script on the SLES... (4 Replies)

rbash
RBASH(1) General Commands Manual RBASH(1)NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1)RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is
used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow-
ing are disallowed or not performed:
o changing directories with cd
o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV
o specifying command names containing /
o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command
o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command
o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup
o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup
o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators
o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command
o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command
o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins
o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command
o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted.
These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.
When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script.
