I think that even though they are named xyz.sh they may written in some other language, and just named .sh
for example I have one here.. The crontab lists ..
00 02 * * * /home/oscar/scripts/backup-restore/backupOSCAR.sh>& /dev/null
which refers to this file..
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 9244 Sep 27 16:46 /home/oscar/scripts/backup-restore/backupOSCAR.sh
but when I look into the file i get...
root at OSCAR-MASTER /home/oscar# less /home/oscar/scripts/backup-restore/backupOSCAR.sh
"/home/oscar/scripts/backup-restore/backupOSCAR.sh" may be a binary file. See it anyway?
I do honestly believe there are shell scripts, and were somehow compiled? Is this possible? any way to De-compile them??
