Thanks, Matt. So it sounds as though we can safely assume that 'bash' is reasonably easily available for all our current platforms (either already there (e.g. Linux) or available as a distributed package-like entity). We might want to have a quick test in "configure.in". (We already have analogous tests, (e.g. libnet, uuid) which can warn or fail as appropriate.) In the packaging aspects, we (individuals amongst us here) will probably want to add 'bash' to any pre-requisite list in our mechanisms. And finally, we need to ensure that scripts with bash features say "!/bin/bash" (not "!/bin/sh"). Does that sound OK, Lars? (Thanks for pushing us on this one!) -- : David Lee I.T.
