It's probably safer to use:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

Assuming env is installed (I believe I had to install a package on OpenBSD to use it) this will find the first instance of bash in the PATH.

How do you know env is in /usr/bin rather than in /bin or /usr/local/bin? I'm just curious...

[wollw]

You don't, but I've run into more problems with bash being in unexpected places than env.

[atsaloli]

Right on, thanks.

Good question. I've used systems, e.g. AIX, where env(1) was in /bin.
