Pattern: Use of unsupported #!/bin/sh
feature
Issue: -
The shebang indicates that the script works with /bin/sh
, but you are using non-standard features that may not work with /bin/sh
, even if /bin/sh is actually bash. Bash behaves differently when invoked as sh
, and disabling support for the highlighted feature is one part of that.
Specify #!/usr/bin/env bash
to ensure that bash (or your shell of choice) will be used, or rewrite the script to be more portable.
The Ubuntu wiki has a list of portability issues and suggestions on how to rewrite them.
