How to pass arguments to the shebang interpreter when executing a script?

Question

Say I have my.script such as

#!/bin/bash blah blah 

and the bash interpreter accepts a --verbose argument.

How do I execute my.script passing --verbose to bash?

I know I can do bash --verbose my.script on the command line, but I need to be able to run my.script directly.

EDIT:

Ok, maybe I should have described my exact example. I'm using grunt.js build system whose cli is a script with a #! to node. Now, grunt runs plugins and one such plugin I use needs a certain flag to be enabled on node. The grunt cli script doesn't do that and I don't want to change it.

Answer 1

You can add --verbose to the shebang line:

#!/bin/bash --verbose 

If you’re running this on Linux, because of the way the kernel handles shebang lines, you can only add one parameter in this way. In shell scripts you can control certains shell options using set; in this instance

#!/bin/bash set -o verbose blah blah 

(Although that will only show commands after the set line, whereas having --verbose in the shebang line shows all the commands, including the shebang.)

Answer 2

test.sh:

#!/bin/bash -v date : x=3 

Running it produces:

$ ./test.sh #!/bin/bash -v date Sat Jan 31 21:34:06 VET 2015 : x=3 

Answer 3

How about

node --option `which grunt`
