[PLUG] take-your-bash-scripting-seriously

[Ron Mansolino via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Some notes on cross-platform compatibility (a bit of /bin/sh rant):

Mention of the size of the bash binary has me wondering:

If my script loads a few other scripts that expressly declare bash up top, does one interpreter run them all?

(or does each one spawn a new bash process?) 

I got in the habit of not specifying bash unless I have to, if these scripts don't specify bash, do _they_ all run in the same environment?

(I don't 'get' how the environment is passed around and I've been bit by variables that I expected that weren't exported (?)

Tcsh,

Ron
