For shell scripts, it is usually sufficient to add

:

in the first line.  This is enough to tell other shells (like the C
shell) that it should better not try interpreting this shell script
themselves.

However, without a shebang line, you can only execute such scripts while
being in a shell or shell script.  It won't work when called via the
exec system call.
