No, it starts with the bash shebang:
#!/bin/bash

It's soooo full of bashisms I wouldn't know where to start. The substitution
line with the error is shown below, but my regex-fu is not good enough to
troubleshoot it:
# browser is on system so check profiles
#
# check that the LAST DIRECTORY in the full path is unique
unique_count=$(echo ${DIRArr[@]##*/} | sed 's/ /\n/g' | sort | uniq | wc -l)
if [[ ${#DIRArr[@]##*/} -eq $unique_count ]]; then
return # no problems so do nothing
else
echo -e " ${RED}Error: ${NRM}${BLD}dup profile for ${GRN}$browser${NRM}$
{BLD} detected. See psd manpage, correct, and try again."${NRM}
I also noticed the startup script has not yet been converted to openrc-run:
# /etc/init.d/psd restart
* /etc/init.d/psd uses runscript, please convert to openrc-run.
* Starting Profile-Sync-Daemon ...
/usr/bin/profile-sync-daemon: line 325: ${#DIRArr[@]##*/}: bad substitution [
ok ]
