[PATCH 00/11] Various trees,shell files missing the shebang line

[Bhaskar Chowdhury]

This is a human being with flesh and blood.

Shell script files were missing the "shebang" line aka shell interpreter.

Note to Randy,

This is for your spare time Eagle Eye stuff, if you could...please.

Oh, I might have inadvertantly added some harmless blank lines too.

There's also a missing space before ",fixed" in all of the commit
descriptions.  Perhaps you could fix this when you send a v2?

A bunch of patches with the same subject line and changelog isn't going
to help anybody looking at these changes later on.  Please, for each
one, come up with a proper, subsystem-specific subject line and describe
the actual work (which file you changed) in the changelog.

Thanks,
