In zsh how can I run a script which is written for bash

bashzsh

I have switched to zsh, how can I run a script which is written for bash?

I don't want to modify the script to put #!/bin/bash in the beginning for the script since it is version controlled.

Is there another way?

The line of the script having problem is:

for f in `/bin/ls v/*/s.sh v/*/*/v.sh d/*/*/v.sh 2> /dev/null`

Best Answer

You can run the script with bash manually:

bash myscript.sh

A better and more permanent solution is to add a shebang line:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

Once that line is added, you can run it directly, even in ZShell:

% ./myscript.sh

As far as version control goes, you should commit this line, for the good of all the developers involved.
