The one saving grace there is that bitty boxes often don't install Bash, since Bash has a relatively large footprint[1]. They'll often go with a smaller shell, like zsh, nash, dash, etc. Of course, you can't *depend* on this without checking first. And good luck getting answers from your typical bitty box vendor. -- Ben [1] Several megabytes, which is considered large in that world.
