Make Node.js support the shebang (#!) for JavaScript files
bash, javascript, node.js, shebang
Solution
Yes, you can simply use `#!/usr/bin/env node` (or whatever the name of your JavaScript interpreter is, it works fine with `js` (spidermonkey), too).
[me@hades:~]> cat > test.js
#!/usr/bin/env node
console.log('hi');
[me@hades:~]> chmod +x test.js
[me@hades:~]> ./test.js
hi
Most likely both interpreters test if the first line begins with `#!` and in this case it is skipped.
Problem
Some scripting languages (such as Python or Bash) use `#` for comments. ``` #!/usr/bin/env python print 'hello, world' ``` I can run the script: ``` python script.py ``` Or ``` ./script.py ``` Is it possible to make JavaScript support shebang?
