Psychic debugging

< AlexMax_> Oh fuck yes
< AlexMax_> my bash kung fu is still strong
< AlexMax_> heh this is getting messy, windows svn doesnt like being
            called from a shell script so now I'm using the batch file to
            update and shell script for everything else
< AlexMax_> heaven forbid anyone else try to replicate what I'm doing
< AlexMax_> OK this is really weird
< AlexMax_> If I put in a command at the bash command line, it runs fine
< AlexMax_> but if i put in that same command into a shell script, the
            command acts like it doesnt recognize the paramitors
<@fraggle> sh != bash
< AlexMax_> I'm using winbash
< AlexMax_> sh is winbash
< AlexMax_> wait a minute
<@fraggle> do you have #!/bin/sh at the top of your file?
< AlexMax_> what?
< AlexMax_> No, but why should i have to, I involke it using sh
            autobuild.sh
< AlexMax_> actually fuck
<@fraggle> try bash autobuild.sh
< AlexMax_> yeah, i could have sworn bash and sh were the same on this
            system
<@fraggle> i think it can behave differently depending on whether you
           invoke it as sh or bash
< AlexMax_> i know that sh and bash are usually distinct on linux
< AlexMax_> but i just remembered that sh is the msys sh and bash is
            winbash
<@fraggle> your bash kung foo may be strong but my psychic debugging
           powers are stronger
