????? How can I find the "sh" application used by "R CMD check" on a Mac?


 ????? I need to know to be able to add it to the "Application Access" 
list maintained by the "Anti-Ransomware" feature of my Bitdefender 
Antivirus for Mac.? With that feature on, "R CMD check Ecfun" stopped 
with the following:


 ????? ????? checking whether package ?Ecfun? can be installed ...sh: 
... Permission denied


 ????? When I saw that, I also got a popup from Bitdefender that would 
only allow me to allow this once but not permanently.? To allow it 
permanently, I need to know where it is on my hard drive.


 ????? Thanks,
 ????? Spencer Graves

From a console, run "which sh".  I get "/bin/sh".

 ????? That did not solve my problem with Bitdefender, but it got me to 
second tier tech support there.


 ????? Thanks again,
