Some cygwin packages install shell scripts that begin with the line #!/bin/sh The latest example is the smartd script that smartmontools installs in /etc/rc.d/init.d. But there are many others. This seems to be standard Linux usage.
On some of my PCs, this causes the shell script to fail. In most cases, I can fix this by replacing the above line with #!/usr/bin/bash I would like a canonical solution to this issue. Should I simply copy /usr/bin/bash.exe to /bin/bash.exe? This has fixed the problem on one of my PCs. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
