    ^^^^^
Isn't compatible to FreeBSD, I think, because BASH is an additional
package and the bash binary will be installed into /usr/local/bin/bash;
unless you're not using any features that are exclusively in bash
(and not in sh), declare /bin/sh as shell (standard scripting shell
in UNIX). So if you use BASH on FreeBSD, BASH scripts would need
to have the header

	#!/usr/local/bin/bash

on order to operate correctly - unless, of course, you modify your
system to have BASH as /bin/bash (copying, symlinking)...
