Then there must be some sort of missunderstanding. My intention was not to troll, but to demonstrate the implications of what you said. I would like to apologise for my previous message as I had understood something completely from what you really said, sorry. But I anyway don't think it is the appropriate way to do it. You are assuming that only bash and dash are suitable as /bin/sh, while IIRC zsh, mksh, pdksh, posh, and probably some other shell interpeter out there are all policy compliant and thus suitable for /bin/sh (ksh isn't since it doesn't support local variables). So, may I ask why would requiring scripts to work with bash and dash and not the others is fair? I'd prefer to stick with the standards.
