Re: problem with subshells or childs?


If you call sh like this, sh will try to run the file as shell script.
And of course ls is not a shell script.
To run a binary command (or any command actually) with sh, the command should be:


sh -c ls

Hi,

i need some help with this:
My plan was to use rsync via ssh from a bash script. But rsync could not run ssh for whatever reason: no such file or directory.


For quicker checking, invoking "bash -e ls" or just "sh ls" shows the same problem - see below.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks!
