Hi, Marc: Thanks. I got exactly the same two answers as you got. Now I
need to get back with Bitdefender to figure out what to do with that
information. Spencer

Hello:
How can I find "sh" that is used by "R CMD check" on my Mac?
I ask, my "Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac" blocks "R CMD check" with a pop up saying, "Bitdefender Safe
Files blocked a new process, sh, from accessing your protected files. What would you like to do?" I'm allowed to allow access
"For 5 minutes" or "For this time only" -- or I can block it forever. I've been clicking "Allow access".
If I knew where "sh" was on my hard drive, I might be able to add it to a
"white list" maintained by the antivirus. Sadly, I don't know where it is.
Thanks,

Hi Spencer,
Typically via 'which' from a terminal:
~ which sh
/bin/sh
There is also 'whereis', but that will only check default system binary paths,
whereas 'which' will also search your $PATH.
In this case, they return the same information:
~ whereis sh
/bin/sh
It sounds like you have the "Safe Files" option in Bitdefender enabled, which
is optional, which is why the messages. I use BF also.
Regards,
Marc Schwartz
