在Mac OS X(和FreeBSD)上:

ps -p $$ -axco command | sed -n '$p' 

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.

Ps -p $$

应该在涉及ps -ef和grep的解决方案的任何地方工作(在任何支持POSIX选项的ps的Unix变体上)，并且不会受到grepping对可能出现在其他地方的数字序列引入的误报的影响。

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

Try

ps -p $$ -oargs=

or

ps -p $$ -ocomm=

如果你只是想确保用户正在使用Bash调用脚本:

if [ -z "$BASH" ]; then echo "Please run this script $0 with bash"; exit; fi

或参考

if [ -z "$BASH" ]; then exec bash $0 ; exit; fi
