I mainly used bash, because a) I don't know much of zsh b) I assumed, that most people have bash installed, since its been around for a long time and default Linux shell c) it worked with bash and I didn't wanted to make a shell contest out of it I wrote a mail to freebsd-hackers. But I was forced to make this change, since in apsfilter 7.0.1 we removed the "set -x" bits for debugging entirely. We now rely completely on "aps2file -D" for apsfilter troubleshooting. You then get print data to stdout and debugging commands of apsfilter shellscript to stderr without having to become root and edit the main apsfilter script. So I was forced to do something. Of course I would really appreciate that our /bin/sh gets fixed, since I generally don't like the bloat of the other shells for apsfilter execution.
