From: Roger Pack Date: 2010-10-12T08:32:13+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:32745] ruby requires shebang for executable files? Hi all. I've noted that ruby typically tries to follow "bash like" semantics for executing files, like system("ls && ls") works like bash does. However, I've also noticed that if I set a file to executable but do not have a shebang, it does nothing--is this expected? Thanks. -r
