In short:
简而言之:
There are several shells which implement a superset of the POSIX sh specification. On different systems, /bin/sh might be a link to ash, bash, dash, ksh, zsh, etc. It will always be sh-compatible though, never csh or fish.
有几个Shell实现POSIX sh规范的超集。 在不同的系统上, / bin / sh可能是ash,bash,dash,dash,ksh,zsh等的链接。尽管如此,它将始终与sh兼容,而不是csh或fish。
As long as you stick to sh features only, you can (and probably even should) use #!/bin/sh and the script should work fine, no matter which shell it is.
只要仅坚持使用sh功能,就可以(甚至可能应该)使用#!/ bin / sh ,无论脚本位于哪个shell中,脚本都可以正常工作。
If you start using bash-specific features (i.e. arrays), you should specifically request bash because, even if /bin/sh already invokes bash on your system, it might not on everyone else’s system, and your script will not run there. The same applies to zsh and ksh, of course.
如果您开始使用bash特有的功能(即数组),则应该特别请求bash,因为即使/ bin / sh已经在系统上调用bash,它也可能不在其他人的系统上运行,并且您的脚本将无法在其中运行。 当然,zsh和ksh也是如此。
Even if the script is for personal use only, you might notice that some operating systems change /bin/sh during upgrades. For example, on Debian it used to be bash, but was later replaced with the very minimal dash. Scripts which used bashisms but had #!/bin/sh suddenly broke.
即使该脚本仅供个人使用,您也可能会注意到某些操作系统在升级过程中会更改/ bin / sh 。 例如,在Debian上它曾经是bash,但后来被极小的破折号所取代。 使用bashisms但具有#!/ bin / sh的脚本突然中断。
However:
然而:
Even #!/bin/bash is not that correct. On different systems, bash might live in /usr/bin, /usr/pkg/bin, or /usr/local/bin.
甚至#!/ bin / bash也不是正确的。 在不同的系统上,bash可能位于/ usr / bin , / usr / pkg / bin或/ usr / local / bin中。
A more reliable option is #!/usr/bin/env bash, which uses $PATH. Although the env tool itself is not strictly guaranteed either, /usr/bin/env still works on more systems than /bin/bash does.
一个更可靠的选项是#!/ usr / bin / env bash ,它使用$ PATH 。 尽管也没有严格保证env工具本身,但是/ usr / bin / env仍比/ bin / bash在更多的系统上工作。
