I saw the recent thread here about shell scripting, and recently heard about this
project

https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

ShellCheck is a GPLv3 tool that gives warnings and suggestions for bash/sh shell
scripts

I haven't tried it yet though...

Hey Andrew!

I haven't tried it yet though...

This is the first time I've heard of it and found out I lack needed dependencies that I am fairly certain I don't want or need.

... I am not Paul.

Serious betting money says you are. ;-)

Life is good,

I just got through skimming a review of it... https://linuxreviews.org/ShellCheck

I suppose it's something I might try, as long as I can easily and cleanly remove
any dependencies later. As always, thanks for your insights, Maurice.

LOL... you noticed my new tagline.

Hey Andrew!

and cleanly remove any dependencies later.

The easiest way I found was to download a statically linked binary which I found here;
https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/stable/shellcheck-stable.linux.x86_64.tar.xz

According to file;
shellcheck: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=990669f76f6f0dab2d5f632975ea0fc3a80c6de8, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

As always, thanks for your insights, Maurice.

No problem. I normally install everything needed from scratch but in this case didn't really want or need all that is required to build it. As far as Haskell is concerned I am definetly not in the market for another compiler.

LOL... you noticed my new tagline.

Yes I did. It brought a smile to my face.

I forgot to mention, on their website, you can paste in the contents of a script.
No need for you to install anything other than a web browser. ;)

Now if you need proof that I am not Paul, I could send a link to my PornTube verification video, but I'll first need to find the appropriate fidonet echo for
that sort of thing.

I'm not serious so much.

Have a gosh-darn-swell weekend.

That is like Google translate and the such.

That would work for most people although argueably most don't have shell scripts that they need to check. For Google translate you don't need a web browser to get a translation of any text document. It is also a commandline based tool except without the extra dependencies statically or otherwise linked.

Now if you need proof that I am not Paul, I could send a link to
my PornTube verification video, but I'll first need to find the appropriate fidonet echo for that sort of thing.

Interesting but I doubt it would REALLY prove anything nevermind if you are Paul ... or not which remains doubtful here. For the record Paul has yet to deny or confirm my suspicions ... but you already knew that didn't you? ;-)

Life is good,
