Find out which bash is in use

[Junktyz]

Hello,

I wrote a small shell script and this script should use the

#!/bin/bash

Then I uploaded the shell script onto a remote pc and tried to start the script. But there was the error message, that bin/bash is a bad interpreter.

How can I find out, which bash is in use oder available on the remote pc?

So what is the solution? If you find out a solution to something, its important that you share with everyone else. One method I use on BSD is to do something like

#!/usr/bin/env bash

instead of

#!/bin/bash

Also, on the machine you're running the script on try which bash

Bash is popular in the Linux world, but it's not always installed on other unixes. If it's there, that will give you the FQ path.

I don't dare to say, that I forgot to change the execution rights on the script and that's why there was the error message "bad interpreter : permission denied".

Next time, put mind in gear before start writing .
