Hi all I have a quick question. Is it better for my zsh shell to be in /usr/bin/zsh or /bin/zsh. I remember reading that one of them would mess up the whole system since zsh is not posix compliant. I believe that szh shouldn’t be set as the root shell. I now have it in /usr/bin/zsh, is that good? So now when I drop into a root shell I don’t get they autocompletion feature that zsh has. I’d also lose that fancy theme. Does that mean my root shell is still bash? Thanks
Sure, things usually put env in /usr/bin, but there’s no guarantee for that. All standards like POSIX guarantee is that the standard PATH contains certain binaries.
Hardcoding /usr/bin/env is probably your best bet, but hardcoding any path is making assumptions that POSIX complaint shells don’t guarantee.
That’s why
#!envis probably your best bet, but people hate shebangs without absolute paths.
