Yes, if the script is portable, sticking with /bin/sh is entirely reasonable, and ought to work just fine with Linux systems who have Bash as their /bin/sh. > BTW, your installed bash is third-party software from FreeBSDs > point of view (installed via ports or packages), and will hence be > found in /usr/local/bin/bash, not in /bin/bash. It's reasonable to make a symlink from /bin/bash to /usr/local/bin/bash, just so long as nothing tries to use Bash before /usr is mounted when the system starts up... -- -Chuck
