Of course it is. If you have a file with a shebang like this: #!/bin/sed , which is the norm, see: https://github.com/uuner/sedtris/blob/master/sedtris.sed , then you'd be in trouble if sed moved in /usr/bin. Of course you know you can't use commands or shell constructs in place of the shebang, you did shell_scripting-101, didn't you? -- Alessandro Selli <alessandrose...@linux.com> VOIP SIP: dhatarat...@ekiga.net Chiave firma e cifratura PGP/GPG signing and encoding key: BA651E4050DDFC31E17384BABCE7BD1A1B0DF2AE
