Subject: #! problem
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 1997 10:37:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199701150937.KAA00978@hydra.ifh.de> (raw)
Somebody here tried something like:
#!/bin/zsh -f
# ^^^^empty spaces added here
echo your code here
and got back:
/bin/zsh: bad option: -
This is a problem because, once again, previous versions of zsh
weren't so fussy. (For comparison, ksh reacts similarly but you get
`-f : bad option(s)' which is at least a little clearer.) This
happens on IRIX, SunOS 4, AIX and Digital Unix 4.0, though apparently
not on Solaris.
I would think dropping meaningless spaces in an option string
(i.e. when an option letter is expected) again would be harmless. I
just want to wait for the waves of protest before trying anything.
