Execute script in sh mode instead of bash in Shell

  • 772

I added my script called mylovelyscript.sh to /bin/ folder. My script contains code that echos text with different text colors. But when I run my script like

$ mylovelyscript

it executes in bash mode. So, my script give an output with the texts with color codes, like

\e[93mHello World!

but not colored texts. But when I run my script like $ sh mylovelyscript.sh with sh command, it executes like how I want. Now, I want my script to give me colored texts like in sh mode, but in this case I want to call my script like $ mylovelyscript, not like $ sh mylovelyscript. How can I do it? Thanks!

    Put this line at the beginning of the file:

    #!/bin/sh

    or:

    #!/bin/dash
