I'm sure you'll get plenty of great suggestions about a lot of this but I
wanted to address this one thing alone. It's the curse that always gets me.
>From your prompt, see which cat you're using. (Arguments aside about if that's

$ which cat
/bin/cat
Then run the same thing in your backticks:
$ echo `which cat`
