If a user has a login startup script or shell scripts that refer to
/bin/zsh, or to /usr/bin/zsh, they can be run without having to modify
them, after copying to the new system.

Note that there is only one file containing code.  As mentioned by Alexis,
the names you mention are links to the true executable, so there is only
one Z shell present on your system.

On my system, both of those are symlinks that eventually lead to the
/bin/zsh4 binary (via symlinks in /etc/alternatives/).

Two Z Shells

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

Hi all,

I just installed z shell through: 

#apt-get install zsh zsh-doc

Before installing, I looked for it with which and whereis. I got nothing from 
which, (it now lists /usr/bin/zsh) and when I typed whereis zsh it only 
returned:

# whereis zsh
zsh:
#

I notice now that /etc/shells lists two Z shells;

/bin/zsh
/usr/bin/zsh

I was wondering why this might be?

Thanks,

J
