I haven't come across any probs between the ksh and bash shells for basic
scripts. I started scripting in bash but moved to ksh (mostly because it's
pretty standard on both unix and linux boxes, while it's hard to find bash
on unix machines). Both ksh and bash have the philosophy of improving borne
while retaining compatibility, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot
of overlap. I think the only scripts I've had trouble with were some of the
more convoluted ones. I would guess that this would probably work as long
as bash uses the $@ system variable (I think it does).
