bash scripts: use /usr/bin/env for bash shebangs
Not all systems / distros have a `/bin/bash`, and these scripts are more difficult to run at development time. For example, my system is NixOS which doesn't have a /bin/bash. This is not a problem for NixOS building ZFS as a package: the build environment automatically replaces these shebangs with corrected paths. The problem is much more annoying at development time: either the scripts don't run, or I correct them for my local machine and deal with a perpetually dirty work tree. Before committing this patch I confirmed there are existing scripts which use `/usr/bin/env` to locate bash, so I am thinking this is a safe transformation. There are a handful of other shebangs in this repository which don't work on my system. This patch is useful on its own specifically for `commitcheck.sh`, otherwise I can't validate my commits before submission. Here are the remaining shebangs which NixOS systems won't have: 1274 #!/bin/ksh -p 91 #!/bin/ksh 89 #! /bin/ksh -p 2 #!/bin/sed -f 1 #!/usr/bin/perl -w 1 #!/usr/bin/ksh 1 #!/bin/nawk -f plus this which will create an invalid shebang in `tests/zfs-tests/tests/functional/mv_files/mv_files_common.kshlib`: echo "#!/bin/ksh" > $TEST_BASE_DIR/exitsZero.ksh I chose to leave those alone for now, and gauge the interest in this much smaller patch first. The fixes for these are easy enough by simply using `/usr/bin/env ksh`: 91 #!/bin/ksh 1 #!/usr/bin/ksh The fix for the other set is much trickier. Quoting the GNU coreutils manual: Most operating systems (e.g. GNU/Linux, BSDs) treat all text after the first space as a single argument. When using env in a script it is thus not possible to specify multiple arguments. and not all `env`'s support arguments. Mine (GNU Coreutils 8.31) does, though this feature is new since April 2018, GNU Coreutils 8.30: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=668306ed86c8c79b0af0db8b9c882654ebb66db2 and worse, requires the -S argument: -S, --split-string=S process and split S into separate arguments; used to pass multiple arguments on shebang lines Example: $ seq 1 2 | $(nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A coreutils)/bin/env "sort -nr" /nix/[...]-coreutils-8.31/bin/env: ‘sort -nr’: No such file or directory /nix/[...]-coreutils-8.31/bin/env: use -[v]S to pass options in shebang lines $ seq 1 2 | $(nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A coreutils)/bin/env "-S sort -nr" 2 1 GNU Coreutils says FreeBSD's `env` does, though I wonder if FreeBSD's would be unhappy with the `-S`: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/env-invocation.html#env-invocation BusyBox v1.30.1 does not, and does not have a `-S`-like option: $ seq 1 2 | $(nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A busybox)/bin/env "sort -nr" env: can't execute 'sort -nr': No such file or directory Toybox 0.8.1 also does not, and also does not have a `-S` option: $ seq 1 2 | $(nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A toybox)/bin/env "sort -nr" env: exec sort -nr: No such file or directory --- At any rate, if this patch merges and the remaining ~1,500 are updated, the much larger patch should probably include a checkstyle-like test asserting all new shebangs use `/usr/bin/env`. I also don't mind dealing with NixOS weirdness if the project would prefer that.
