@naikrovek If you write the scripts only for yourself, than your approach is doable. If you have to write scripts for potential thousands of customers, then you care about portability and compatibility. And I dont see (currently) any harm in using `env`. Of course the scripts, that depends on specific features checks for the current setup.
Maybe we have just different requirements with our "scripting targets" – mine are not fixed but very flexible. (edit: typos)

@naikrovek Not quite. The shebang is the first line in a text file (marked with #! at left most), that the loader tells which interpreter to use. By using `/usr/bin/env bash` it picks the first bash found in PATH variable. That way the admin of the system (globally) the user can change the default bash to use, which can be a newer/patched version than the vendor delivered. On some systems /bin/bash or /usr/bin/bash lies on RO filesystems. So with /usr//bin/env you decouple and are portable.

@nixCraft Make the shebang portable with

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
```

Der walisische Schauspieler Michael Sheen hat mit 100.000 Pfund aus eigener Tasche Schulden im Gesamtwert von rund 1 Million Pfund von etwa 900 Menschen in seiner Heimatregion Sudwales aufgekauft und vollständig erlassen. Möglich wurde dies durch gängige Praktiken der Schulden-industrie, bei denen Forderungen stark vergünstigt weiterverkauft werden.

@erd Perhaps it is just an expression of hope to finally get rid of the advertising, at least. :)
