@FelisPhasma It's made up, but should be original Bourne shell=sh, not the resurrected one (bash = Bourne again shell, ya know)
-
@Root HOW DARE YOU! Blasphemy!
Calling Jason Bourne useless...for shame...
He's good at...killing...and stuff. Plenty useful. -
@Mokalottay same goes for sh/bash, they are too powerful, so that people implement build systems for Mac or installer for 35 distributions in it, that are just a pita to maintain.

hjk10157316y@river226 no if you look at the shebang you see it is really not. It's sh that means the script must be bourne sh compatible not bourne again aka bash. Always use #!/usr/bin/env bash
-
river2261486y@hjk101 not sure how many people use borne shell, but I suppose you are technically correct
-
hjk10157316y@river226 it's not so much what people want to use but more what the OS provides. Sometimes sh is a very light shell to speed up the boot process (older Debian distros had that for example) or bussybox is used like in Alpine Linux (lots of buildin commands have options missing).
It's something I have had issues with before and can be frustrating to debug
