I suspect that it's because you're running it from bash, so bash gets to interpret it if nobody else is specified, just like if you'd typed it in from the command line. This would be easy to test for someone who uses (t)csh - make a script with no #! and see whether it recognizes sh-style or csh-style syntax. (I don't know csh...) This would tell you whether it defaults to sh or to the calling shell. -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
