我尝试过许多不同的方法，对我来说最好的方法是:

ps -p $$

它也可以在Cygwin下工作，并且不能像PID grepping那样产生假阳性。经过一些清理，它只输出一个可执行名称(在Cygwin With path下):

ps -p $$ | tail -1 | awk '{print $NF}'

你可以创建一个函数，这样你就不必记住它:

# Print currently active shell
shell () {
  ps -p $$ | tail -1 | awk '{print $NF}'
}

…然后执行shell。

它在Debian和Cygwin下进行了测试。

我对打印父进程的变体:

ps -p $$ | awk '$1 == PP {print $4}' PP=$$

当AWK可以为您运行不必要的应用程序时，不要运行它。

没有一个答案适用于fish shell(它没有变量$$或$0)。

这适用于我(测试在sh, bash, fish, ksh, csh, true, tcsh，和zsh;openSUSE 13.2):

ps | tail -n 4 | sed -E '2,$d;s/.* (.*)/\1/'

该命令输出类似bash的字符串。这里我只使用ps、tail和sed(没有GNU扩展;尝试添加——posix来检查它)。它们都是标准的POSIX命令。我相信尾巴是可以去掉的，但是我的sed fu还不够强。

在我看来，这个解决方案不是很可移植，因为它不能在OS x上工作:(

有许多方法可以找到shell及其对应的版本。下面是一些对我有用的方法。

直截了当的

$> echo $0(给你程序名。在我的例子中，输出是-bash。) $> $SHELL(这将带您进入SHELL，并在提示符中获得SHELL名称和版本。在我的情况下bash3.2$。) $> echo $SHELL(这将给你可执行的路径。在我的情况下/bin/bash。) $> $SHELL——version(这将提供有关许可证类型的SHELL软件的完整信息)

独创性的方法

$> *******(输入一组随机字符，在输出中您将获得shell名称。在我的例子中-bash: chapter2-a-sample-isomorphic-app: command not found)

There are three approaches to finding the name of the current shell's executable: Please note that all three approaches can be fooled if the executable of the shell is /bin/sh, but it's really a renamed bash, for example (which frequently happens). Thus your second question of whether ps output will do is answered with "not always". echo $0 - will print the program name... which in the case of the shell is the actual shell. ps -ef | grep $$ | grep -v grep - this will look for the current process ID in the list of running processes. Since the current process is the shell, it will be included. This is not 100% reliable, as you might have other processes whose ps listing includes the same number as shell's process ID, especially if that ID is a small number (for example, if the shell's PID is "5", you may find processes called "java5" or "perl5" in the same grep output!). This is the second problem with the "ps" approach, on top of not being able to rely on the shell name. echo $SHELL - The path to the current shell is stored as the SHELL variable for any shell. The caveat for this one is that if you launch a shell explicitly as a subprocess (for example, it's not your login shell), you will get your login shell's value instead. If that's a possibility, use the ps or $0 approach. If, however, the executable doesn't match your actual shell (e.g. /bin/sh is actually bash or ksh), you need heuristics. Here are some environmental variables specific to various shells: $version is set on tcsh $BASH is set on bash $shell (lowercase) is set to actual shell name in csh or tcsh $ZSH_NAME is set on zsh ksh has $PS3 and $PS4 set, whereas the normal Bourne shell (sh) only has $PS1 and $PS2 set. This generally seems like the hardest to distinguish - the only difference in the entire set of environment variables between sh and ksh we have installed on Solaris boxen is $ERRNO, $FCEDIT, $LINENO, $PPID, $PS3, $PS4, $RANDOM, $SECONDS, and $TMOUT.

下面将始终给出实际使用的shell -它获得实际可执行文件的名称，而不是shell名称(即ksh93而不是ksh，等等)。对于/bin/sh，它将显示实际使用的shell，即破折号。

ls -l /proc/$$/exe | sed 's%.*/%%'

我知道有很多人说ls输出永远不应该被处理，但是您所使用的shell以特殊字符命名，或者位于以特殊字符命名的目录中的可能性有多大?如果情况仍然如此，还有很多其他不同的做法。

正如托比·斯佩特(Toby Speight)所指出的，这将是实现相同目标的更适当、更干净的方式:

basename $(readlink /proc/$$/exe)
