dash 和 bash

1.

Bash is the shell, or command language interpreter, that will appear in the GNU operating system. Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh).

Dash(Debian Almquist shell) is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.

Ubuntu 的默认Shell是 Dash,

Bash 和 Dash两者语法是有区别的，详见

例如

bash: 支持两者

igi@gentoo ~ $ [ 'a'= 'a'] && echo'equal'

equal

igi@gentoo ~ $ [ 'a'== 'a'] && echo'equal'

equal

igi@gentoo ~ $ echo$0

/bin/bash

dash: 只支持=

$echo$0

dash

$

如果Shell是从别的linux平台移植到Ubuntu, 应将 /bin/sh 改成bash
