what shell is this

[Raj Ohadi]

I saw a script start with

#! /bin/sh

Is this a Korn shell script ? or Born shell script ? or C shell script ? How can I tell ?

[Ulf Dittmer]

This list may help. There are others as well, like zsh.

You also might want to run the following command:

ls -l /bin/sh

Quite often /bin/sh is a symbolic link to another shell, usually bash in modern Linux distributions.
