Theres a bunch of old bourne shell scripts I got from the net that looks useful. I was thinking of just running under bash.

You might have a problem... or maybe not.

Though bash is compatible with sh, you might
encounter some incompatibilities. google for
"bash faq" to see the difference.

What's confusing is that sh is linked to bash in
some Linux distro!

Other unices like FreeBSD, Solaris, etc has it's
own separate bourne shell which is distinctly
different with bash.

Are you trying to create scripts which is
portable? Then you might want to explore using
ksh instead if that is the case...
