Mutation of H1N1 Discovered in Brazil
Brazilian scientists have identified a new strain of the H1N1 virus after examining samples from a patient in Sao Paulo, their institute The variant has been called A/Sao Paulo/1454/H1N1 by the Adolfo Lutz Bacteriological Institute, which compared it with samples of the A(H1N1) swine flu from California. The genetic sequence of the new sub-type of the H1N1 virus was isolated by a virology team lead by one of its researchers, Terezinha Maria de Paiva, the institute said in a statement. The mutation comprised of alterations in the Hemagglutinin protein which allows the virus to infect new hosts, it said. It was not yet known whether the new strain was more aggressive than the current A(H1N1) virus which has been declared pandemic by the World Health Organization. The genetic make-up of the H1N1 virus and its subvariants are important for scientists.

#!/bin/bash – or #!/bin/bash — In A Shell Script
Question: I know #!/bin/bash is shebang line. But, I noticed a few shell script shebang line ends with a single dash ( #!/bin/bash - ) or double dash ( #!/bin/bash -- ). Can you explains me purpose of such shebang line? Answer: A - or -- signals the end of options and disables further option processing i.e. bash will not accept any of its option. Any arguments after the -- are treated as filenames and arguments. An argument of - is equivalent to --. This is done to improve script security. Some user may perform setuid based script root spoofing.
