a 'sourced' script does -not- honor a shebag line.
you can exploit that.
The executable script /usr/local/bin/source_only;
#!/bin/sh
echo Error: this script must be sourced
Your script:
#!/usr/local/bin/source_only
{cmd}
{cmd}
{cmd}
{cmd}
{cmd}
{cmd}
...
...
Trying to do it totally self-contained is not easy.
