Using bash-4.4.12... If I use bash -c, I get a variety of correct messages:
bash -c xxx
bash: xxx: command not found
touch xx
Ishtar:law/bin> bash -c xx bash: ./xx: Permission denied or when it works, it just does: bash -c "sleep 1" (sleeps 1) but if I leave off the '-c', like: bash sleep 1 I get: /usr/bin/sleep: /usr/bin/sleep: cannot execute binary file ??? Isn't it bash that cannot execute the binary file because it expected a script? Shouldn't bash be to the left of the ':' with some error on the right, like "cannot exec binary file" or "expected script file"?
