Actually, a better option here (better than #!/bin/bash) would be to
leave the shebang line as #!/bin/sh and to instead remove the
dependency on bash.
Instead change line 29 (or 30, if you have taken my advice and
implemented an initial cd to the directory containing install-usr.sh)
to read:
[ j903 = "$(basename "$(pwd)")" ] || { echo directory not j903; exit 1 }
Optionally you could include some quotes which were originally on that
line, but they are unnecessary here.
FYI,
