/bin/sh should be used for shell scripts, and any scripts should avoid anything that only Bash supports. As for perl, /usr/bin/perl is fairly standard if Perl is installed, so I see no problem leaving it that way. However, the following could be used if you want to make perl scripts more flexible: #!/usr/bin/env perl The only real downside to this is if scripts can be run as root. Using env method could be a potential vulnerability. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
