"forking" has absolutely nothing to do with "the syntax of shell scripts".

Proving my point more and more here…

Again, try to remain polite. I understand how forking works. Knowing how shebangs work is not something they teach directly. Forking is.
so you know about fork but not about exec. It's not impolite to point out you didn't know something.

It's impolite to get offended.

No, im referring to your original comment calling me a "typical noob". It was an immature comment which contributes nothing, and again I think youre capable of more maturity than that.

Obviously, this conversation is based on your misunderstanding of the original post and so I dont think its a worthwhile use of either of our time to enumerate the chapters and system calls from a college class. Knowing how processes are created in a generic operating system is not the same thing as knowing how shebangs work on unix-like systems. Again, OS class is about how to MAKE an operating system, not how to use one
