SHELL (str)

Path of current shell

Description

SHELL is an environmental variable containing the full path to the current shell – which in our case is Murex.

This variable is set by Murex to conform to POSIX standards. However, being an environmental variable, it can be overwritten via export.

For Murex specific code, you are recommended to use MUREX_EXE, which is a reserved variable, and thus read only, if you require precision and safety.
