Maybe my settings are slightly different, but the new bits give me
,----
| #+begin_src sh :shebang #!/bin/cat
| foo
| #+end_src
|
| #+RESULTS:
| : foo
`----
They also give me sensible results with the original example:
,----
| #+begin_src sh :shebang #!/bin/bash
| for np in {1..32}
| do
| echo $np
| done
| #+end_src
|
| #+RESULTS:
| | 1 |
| | 2 |
| | 3 |
| |... |
| | 31 |
| | 32 |
`----
The only potentially confusing case I've found is the following:
,----
| #+begin_src sh
| #!/bin/bash
| for np in {1..32}
| do
| echo $np
| done
| #+end_src
|
| #+RESULTS:
| : {1..32}
`----
with the shebang as part of the script. I'd argue it's doing the right
thing however: if one remembers that sh is the default command, this is
equivalent to the command line invocation:
,----
| $ sh foo.sh
`----
where foo.sh contains
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/bash
for np in {1..32}
do
echo $np
done
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and that too gives:
,----
| $ sh foo.sh
| {1..32}
`----
whereas
,----
| $ ./foo.sh
| 1
| 2
| 3
| ...
| 31
| 32
`----
In other words, sh does not interpret the shebang: that is only done
by the exec system call.
