Both ways work properly. But in my Cocoa App, when I try to do the exact same thing with NSTask (using /bin/bash or /bin/sh), the app see...
The question says it: what would be the purpose of a command that does nothing, being little more than a comment leader, but actually a shell built-in in and of itself. It's slower than inserting a comment into your scripts, by about 40% per call, which probably varies greatly on the size of the comment. The only possible reasons I can ...

Let's say I have a shell script that runs a bunch of other sub-scripts. I decide that my script must be run as root because the first several sub-scripts that it runs need to be run as root. However, there are two sub-scripts run by the super-script that cannot be run as root. Assuming my script was run as root, how do I de-root it fo...
So ruby 1.9 is really nice in that it'll automatically require rubygems, and hence when you call require 'somegem' without first requiring rubygems it'll work, and that's generally awesome. But I have a ton of shell scripts using ruby, and they generally don't rely on rubygems. Shell tools should run instantly, and loading rubygems for ...
