/bin/bash won’t work on every system
for example NixOS
some other systems may have bash in /usr/bin or elsewhere
Comment on Yes
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 11 months agoStill don’t do this. If you use bash specific syntax with this head, that’s a bashism and causes issues with people using zsh for example. Or with Debian/*buntu, who use dash as init shell.

NixOS didn’t do /usr merge?

Binaries are not in
/usr/binor/binexcept for/bin/shand/usr/bin/env. Programs should not assume fixed paths for binaries and instead look for them in$PATH.

#!/bin/bashdoesn’t work on NixOS since bash is in the nix store somewhere,#!/usr/bin/env bashresolves the correct location regardless of where bash isJackbyDev@programming.dev 11 months ago
Are there any distos with
/use/bin/envin a different spot? I still believe that’s the best approach for getting bash.MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 11 months ago
All posix-compliant distros need /usr/bin/env

I do think a simple symlink is superior to a tool parsing stuff. A shame POSIX choose this approach.
Still the issue that a posix shell can be on a non-posix system and vice versa. Btw, isn’t there only one posix certified Linux distro? Was it Suse?
