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 :-)

Important info on which I was not totally clear. Thank you for the explanation.
