Must I be running the bash shell to invoke regression testing?
You don't have to be running bash yourself -- the #! makes it run bash.
Yes, but $SHELL is not necessary the shell currently executing. It is an
environment variable:
[pro02 dan ~] % echo $SHELL 16:38:28
/bin/zsh
[pro02 dan ~] % bash 16:38:32
[dan@pro02:~] $ echo $SHELL
/bin/zsh
If so, why?
It is because the script uses some bash extensions. Two that I can see are
((JOBID++))
and
ERRS=$((`grep "joberrors: " ${tmp}/blog${ltest}.out | awk '{print $2}'`+0))
I'm not asking why the script requires bash. My answer above shows why.
