Interesting that he uses a space after the #!. I don't think I've ever done so.

- guns 16y agoFrom the article: It is rumored that some systems only recognize an executable script when it starts with the four bytes `#! /', probably because the GNU autoconf manual says so, but it seems impossible to find confirmation for this rumor.
- sprout 16y agoI actually took a weeklong shell course through work where the instructor said not to put whitespace in there. However, I've never read of any systems that have a problem with whitespace, so I suppose it's just as well to include it.
- randallsquared 16y agoYeah, that's what prompted me to even notice, since I was assuming it was just spaced out to make it clearer.
