Just don't call it with
#!/bin/sh. Because that's POSIX shell, not bash.but effectively it's bash, I think
/bin/shis a symlink to bash on every system I know of...Edit: I feel corrected, thanks for the information, all the systems I used, had a symlink to bash. Also it was not intended to recommend using bash functionality when having a shebang
!#/bin/sh. As someone other pointed out, recommendation would be#!/usr/bin/env bash, or!#/bin/shif you know that you're not using bash specific functionality.i thought most unix-like systems had it symlinked to a shell like
dash. it's what i have on my system (void linux), of course not as an interactive shell loli use
#!/bin/shfor posix scripts and#!/usr/bin/env bashfor bash scripts.#!/bin/shworks for posix scripts since even if it's symlinked to bash, bash still supports posix features.
