My app has a Scripts menu from which the user can run Ruby,

I'm assuming that the shebang line is the FIRST line of the script
which makes it easy to find.
My question: Do people ever write shell scripts without a shebang
line
Yes, *however* you can't make them directly executable. i.e. to
run them you must explicitly ask the shell to run them. Most shell
scripts, therefore, do have a shell bang.
The shell bang has to be on the first line of the script in order
for the shell to spot it, so looking there is just fine.
Kind regards,
Alastair.

I'm not asking the shell to run them. I getting NSTask to do it. I
haven't tried an actual shell script yet, and it will be interesting
to see if Terminal gets launched.
Thanks for your help,
Ron
