I have worked in dcl,sh,bash,csh,ksh and I hate them all. Loathe them.

The best solution to any problem involving these buggers is to move to a
sane scripting language. Python or Ruby.

My personal favourite is Ruby (www.ruby-lang.org)

I promise you, that is the answer. Dump *sh in /dev/null where it belongs.

John's law :-

All advances in computing have arisen through the creation of an
additional level of indirection, the trick is to work out which
indirection is actually useful.
