The first is to use it directly, +# from the command line, like this: +# +# $ sbang ./long-shebang.sh +# success! +# +# +# `sbang` as the interpreter +# ----------------------------- +# You can also use `sbang` *as* the interpreter for your script. Put +# `#!/bin/bash /path/to/sbang` on line 1, and move the original +# shebang to line 2 of the script: +# +# 1 #!/bin/bash /path/to/sbang +# 2 #!/long/path/to/real/interpreter with arguments +# 3 +# 4 echo "success!" +# +# $ ./long-shebang.sh +# success! +# +# On Linux, you could shorten line 1 to `#!/path/to/sbang`, but other +# operating systems like Mac OS X require the interpreter to be a +# binary, so it's best to use `sbang` as a `bash` argument. +# Obviously, for this to work, `sbang` needs to have a short enough +# path that *it* will run without hitting OS limits. +# +# +# How it works +# ----------------------------- +# `sbang` is a very simple bash script. It looks at the first two +# lines of a script argument and runs the last line starting with +# `#!`, with the script as an argument. It also forwards arguments. +# + +# First argument is the script we want to actually run. +script="$1" + +# Search the first two lines of script for interpreters. +lines=0 +while read line && ((lines < 2)) ; do + if [[ "$line" = '#!'* ]]; then + interpreter="${line#\#!}" + fi + lines=$((lines+1)) +done < "$script" + +# Invoke any interpreter found, or raise an error if none was found. +if [ -n "$interpreter" ]; then + exec $interpreter "$@" +else + echo "error: sbang found no interpreter in $script" + exit 1 +fi |
