Re: bash scripting

Hi,
I just tried to run the '#!/bin/env bash ' version of this script and
I
got:=================================================================
===== jpk@debian:~/scratch$ ./test.sh
bash: ./test.sh: /bin/env: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
======================================================================
On my system env is in /usr/bin.
===================================
jpk@debian:~/scratch$ which env
/usr/bin/env
===================================
So this is essentially the same error as before - you are telling the
shell to run a program which is not where you say it is.

You can use the original version of the program and pass the correct
location of the bash interpreter to it. eg the first line should be
something like:#!/correct/path/to/bash
Of course the /correct/path/to/bash on my system is /bin/bash

Or use the later version and pass the correct location of env to it.
eg the first line should be something like:#!/correct/path/to/env bash
On my system the /correct/path/to/env is /usr/bin/env

Both of these work on my system.

Here's hoping I have not added to your confusion :-)

regards,

John Kelly
