Re: [PLUG] Shell scripting?

True. Some could argue that it's easier to clean up sh(**) than it is
to fix something after it's been bash(ed). ;-)

I realize this is the Philly *Linux* Users Group, but it still kind of
bothers me when I see #!/bin/sh

Granted, on linux #!/bin/sh is symlinked to bash, but if you try to
use the script on some unix variant, you're in for a very big
surprise.  /bin/sh and /bin/bash are *not* the same there.
So, it's just me, but I always prefer explicitly saying #!/bin/bash
on scripts I write.

I just felt compelled to point out the (somewhat historical at
this point) difference, 'cause it doesn't matter until it does :-)
