/me is using bash on linux. > I agree. Only a very strange Unix-like installation would not have > 'env' at '/usr/bin/env'. According to <http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/>: »However, env(1) is not /usr/bin/env but /bin/env at least on Unicos 9.0.2, OpenServer 5.0.6 and IIRC on at least one older Linux distribution. Free-, Net- and OpenBSD in turn only come with /usr/bin/env. So the env-mechanism is increasing conven- ience, but not strictly assuring portability.« Cheers, -- Klaus Alexander Seistrup PNX · http://pnx.dk/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
