Command lines inside tool configs are assumed to be 'sh' (posix bourne shell). If you are extending one of the runners, definitely stick to pure 'sh'. However, once your command is run, there is no reason you can't use any shell of your choice. -- James Taylor, Assistant Professor, Biology/CS, Emory University On Sun, Feb 3, 2013 at 11:56 AM, Hagai Cohen <hagai26@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, There are couple of Linux shells: bash, sh, zsh, csh. etc I would like to know if Galaxy is written to be supported on a specific one or it is written to support any linux shell?

I'm asking this, because I want to add some features and I want to know what shell should I support? Or should write cross-shell code?

In Dramaa runner, for example, it uses sh shell (inside drm_template inside drmaa.py), so any job that is run through this runner should support sh.

Thanks, Hagai
