題目: Re: [DNG] Danger: Debian POSIX hostility
One thing about this which strikes me as a bit ironic is debian's use of
the dash shell, made to be POSIX-compliant, and so causing endless
problems for scripts using bash's additional non-POSIX functionality,
but not specifying bash explicitly in the shebang line.
