Something along the lines of;

!/bin/bash -u

At the beginning of the script? The idea is to change the shell of the
script currently running to be bash, and when the script terminates, control
returns to sh.

Subject: [newbie] BASHing My Crontab




Hey Scripting Gurus,

     I set up a crontab for root to run a script.  The script was written
for
bash.  I found out that cron runs under sh?  When the job kicks off, it
can't
find ifconfig or grep, which are part of the script.  Email is sent to root
"ifconfig : command not found"  "grep : command not found".  Is it possible
to
make ifconfig and grep "available" to sh?  Is it possible to force cron to
run
under bash?
Does what I am asking make any sense?
After finally hashing out the script, I never thought I would hit a brick
wall
with cron :-(



Thanks,
Bryan
