| What is the bash2 shell and how is it different from the regular bash shell? I noticed it in my /bin. | |
|
| ...
try from the shell :
file ./bash2
bash2: symbolic link to bash | |

| Oh so it's just a symbolic link to bash shell? Gotcha... | |

| Use
$ ls -lai `which bash`
to find out. If there inode numbers are the same, they are the same file. | |

| bash2's file permissions are lrwxrwxrwx
It's a symbolic link. I'm pretty sure the 'l' signifies link. | |

| Yes, that means that it's a soft link. |
