$SHELL不需要总是显示当前SHELL。它只反映要调用的默认shell。

为了测试上面的测试，假设bash是默认shell，尝试echo $ shell，然后在同一终端，进入其他一些shell(例如KornShell (ksh))并尝试$ shell。在这两种情况下，您将看到结果为bash。

要获得当前shell的名称，使用cat /proc/$$/cmdline。和通过readlink /proc/$$/exe到shell可执行文件的路径。

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.

你可以试试:

ps | grep `echo $$` | awk '{ print $4 }'

Or:

echo $SHELL

我有一个简单的技巧来找到当前的壳。只需输入一个随机字符串(这不是命令)。它将失败并返回一个“not found”错误，但在行开始时，它会说它是哪个shell:

ksh: aaaaa: not found [No such file or directory]
bash: aaaaa: command not found

使用$SHELL环境变量获取它。简单的sed可以删除路径:

echo $SHELL | sed -E 's/^.*\/([aA-zZ]+$)/\1/g'

输出:

bash

它在macOS、Ubuntu和CentOS上进行了测试。

Ps是最可靠的方法。SHELL环境变量不能保证被设置，即使设置了，也很容易被欺骗。
