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 server using Gedit, really just because the AIX version of vi is so dreadfully painful to
use... Then transferring the file to the AIX server. But when I transfer from the SLES to the AIX server I need to change the Shebang
line depending upon which server the script is being executed on.
Is it possible to do something like this, instead of needing to manually change the location of the interpreter?
Code:
host=$(uname -s)
if [[ $host == "Linux" ]]
then
#!/bin/bash
echo "Setting as Linux..."
elif [[ $host == "AIX" ]]
then
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "Setting as AIX..."
fi
So is something like that possible? If not its fine... I guess I could just make a symbolic link on one of the servers so I could just keep it
the same, but was curious so I thought I'd ask.
I don't think this is possible.
However a little bit of lateral thinking here.
Save the file twice but with differing filenames one containing #!/bin/bash and the other with #!/usr/bin/bash as the shebang...
Write a simple third script with a shebang line as #!/bin/sh to detect which bash and autolaunch your required script with or without a separate terminal...
(If this makes sense.)
Just an idea...

You can use the env command in your shebang line. I write scripts for Solaris, AIX, and Linux and using that command will locate the interpreter on the given system:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

Hi ,
I know about the shebang line in shell scripting. Just want to know whether is there any difference in execution of the program by keeping and not keeping the shebang line. Because without shebang line also the script is working. correct me if am wrong. Any help on this will be helpful (5 Replies)
Hi,
As per my understanding, we can use two shebang statements in a single shell script. Please see below snippet-
#!/bin/bash
.......## some code A
#!/bin/csh
.......## some code B
exit 0;
Here, code A will be executed using bash shell and code B will be executed with c shell.

#!/bin/ksh
echo -en "\033|||'-'))

test.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
