You could make the first line of the scripts:

That is what I thought. Shouldn't this become the law then? ;-) I mean, writing '#!/bin/sh' is obviously wrong if you intend your scripts to be run on a standards compliant OS.

Although formal standards refrain from specifying exact locations of binaries, I believe '/usr/bin/env' could easily be agreed upon between UNIX implementations making it defacto standard.

Making people write '#!/usr/bin/env sh' instead of '#!/bin/sh' seems like a radical turn. Are there any other issues with this approach? Security perhaps? I'm trying to see the whole picture before I start pushing this idea.
