Should. Bash is a super-set of ksh, sh, and csh (theoretically combining all
the best of each, and leaving behind the worst).
Also, fwiw, using the -x option to (ba)sh will allow you some amount of
debugging ability. You can turn it on either by:
#!/path/to/(ba)sh -x
or
# sh -x /path/to/script
HTH!
