Hi All;
Please forgive me for butting in.
But I have been telling (shouting actually) people to ALWAYS ALWAYS
start their scripts with a #!<explicit shell>
Forgive me if I am totally off topic here, but are you guys (and gals?)
saying that it is not necessary??????
Warmest Regards
Steven Sim

Please note that I did NOT claim this to be either standard or
correct in any of my posts, nor do I require for this to remain in
the scripts. It can be changed.
Probably, if you want to run standard complaint scripts, you'd start
them
of with:
:
(a colon on a single line)
This should cause them to be executed by the shell in a POSIX compliant
environment when executed by a POSIX compliant shell.
I am not sure I understand you correctly. Are you suggesting that I
should avoid #! and use explicit invocation of shell interpreter to
run scripts?
You could try something like this:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/xpg4/bin/sh -a "$_" != /usr/xpg4/bin/sh ]; then
exec /usr/xpg4/bin/sh $0 $*
exit $?
fi
# rest of script from here on down
