Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 18 Release Status: release Description: bash closes fd #63 for process subsitution when executing script without shebang line. I don't see why this might be a feature -- so I assume it's a bug;) this happens with bash-4.2.25(1) from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and the freshly built 4.3.18(1) (just to be sure it's not fixed in the mean time...) Rationale: I want to run some scripts identically on both Linux and Android with bash. but on android bash is installed in /system/bin/bash (vs. /bin/bash on Linux) and I do not want to add some symlinks for "/system -> ." or similar, so I can't use shebang to explicitly start bash... so far this seems to be the only bash feature which breaks when using "#" instead of "#!/bin/bash" Repeat-By: cat > works.sh <<'EOF' #!/bin/bash ls -l /dev/fd/ cat $1 EOF cat > breaks.sh <<'EOF' # ls -l /dev/fd/ cat $1 EOF chmod +x works.sh breaks.sh ./works.sh <( echo test works ) ./breaks.sh <( echo test breaks ) thanks for a fix (and not explaining why it might be a (anti-)feature;-), Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.
