Hi all,
I'm writing a bash script which I would like to execute the same script
on a linux and a solaris system. but my problem is that the bash
executable is in /usr on linux and /usr/bin on solaris. So how do I
define the first line #! syntax so that the shell which is executing the
script knows where to pick up the executable.
For example, the syntax of my simple script under linux would be
#!/bin/bash
echo Hello World
and under solaris would be
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo Hello World
I remember some syntax which would tell the system running the script to
look in the path for the shell executable, but I can't remember the
syntax and I'm having a hard time finding it searching google. Does
anyone know the best solution?
Thanks in advance. Steve.
