Re: Bashing sea shells and bash shell (was: How do you.....)

[Jerry Feldman]

I tend to agree that shell scripts should be written to the sh standard,, 
but even there you run into variants between SYSV and BSD variants. I 
try to test my scripts on both ksh and bash since most of the systems I 
use have at least one of these two. One problem I have at the moment is 
that my login scripts on TRU64 were written for ksh, and cause some 
warnings under bash when I login to a Linux system where my preferred 
shell is bash.
