Folks, can somebody point me to an authorative reference that
explains when one needs to put, eg,
#!/bin/bash
as the first line of a script and whether or not it's required/
surplus/ignored for bash specific files such as .bashrc
and .bash_profile
have look at:
http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/invoking.html
The whole tutorial is in the package: abs-guide
Thanks, probably the previous chapter ("she-bang") was of more use
but a useful ref. However, I'm still trying to understand why it's
not usual to have a she-bang for the .bash_profile and .bashrc files.
That documentation reads as if it's expected - they are scripts and
contain shell specific syntax.
Thanks, Michael
