You need to choose what language you are scripting in. /bin/sh implements the posix bourne shell, while /bin/bash actually gives you all the rest but the kitchen sink. Posix gives you portability and consistency across platforms and system releases. Bash, however, has different features in each new versions. /bin/dash implements (and documents) a strict posix shell, so if you stick to what it provides, you will be safe whatever implementation you use (dash or bash). Good luck :-) _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
