How about the consequences of using the syntax of one language and asking the shell/interpreter/compiler of a different one to run it? Bill, I have to disagree with you on this one. If you say '/bin/sh' then you should speak '/bin/sh'. If you say '/usr/bin/python' then you should speak '/usr/bin/python'. If you are speaking '/bin/bash', then you should say, '/bin/bash'. Don't use bash syntax in a script that is configured to be run by /bin/sh. ....of course, if dash is failing on correct sh syntax, then Ubuntu screwed up and the above comments don't apply. Cheers!
