I'm not sure the reason then, but they're definitely right; it works fine with zsh, doesn't work with bash. I wrote a test script to try it myself.

I don't have fish installed and can't be bothered to go that far, but I suspect they're right about that as well.



It is strange, cursory digging for an explanation was a little more complex than I bargained for...

I think it makes it to calling open_exec but there's a test for BINPRM_FLAGS_PATH_INACCESSIBLE, which doesn't seem relevant since 'bash' isn't like '/dev/fd/<fd>/..', but does provoke an ENOENT.

Maybe someone else can explain it, I'd enjoy the details, and ran out of steam.


env bash is all well and good for normies, but if you're already on NixOS did you know you can have nix-shell be your interpreter and back flip into any reproducible interpreted environment you like?

Or any other system with Nix installed. I use this at work to provide scripts with all their dependencies specified that work across any Linux distro & MacOS. First execution is slow since it has to fetch everything, but after that it's fast and just works.
