No (at least not for me).
Did you actually try that, as opposed to the version you showed before? There *is* a difference.
As far as I understand this, no kind of quoting or escaping will work on whole shebang line because the kernel just splits the string and passes them as arguments to the application.
You understand incorrectly; shebang parsing is platform dependent. See: http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/ In particular, I just tested Linux (CentOS 4.3, to be precise) and found that this works: #!/bin/env /path/witha/s pace/init However, if I understand correctly, this would not work correctly on certain *BSD-derived operating systems, which would pass "/path/witha/s" and "pace/init" to env as separate arguments, instead of a single combined argument, thereby keeping it from working. It seems that OS X would be a good place to test also, especially since IIRC it is *BSD-derived.
