after reading http://www.sidux.com/index.php?name=PNp ... 3927#83927 I realized I have to change the shebang line of some of scripts I have in a directory. what command line can I use to do this?

Code:

sed -i -e 's/\#!\/bin\/sh/\#!\/bin\/bash/' ~/myscripts/*

or maybe a perl or awk command?

Thank you

sed is fine.

Code:

sed -i 's@^\(#![[:space:]]*\)/bin/sh@\1/bin/bash@' /path/*
