Good point...He never specifies what shell he's using.
I'll have to call and ask.

The default shell in the .profile for everybody in hp-ux is /usr/bin/sh
which is the HP version of Bourne Shell.

We are scheduled to implement a test area on a backup machine with none
of the admin scripts.  That's where the DO part comes in. I get to write
the scripts and test them and make sure they work.  If I do it well I
