Yes. > I do not believe we there are any bash specific constructs used > in the scripts. The /bin/sh supplied with FreeBSD 3.2, claimed to be aimed at the POSIX.2 specification, barfs on some of it, notably: if test <blah>; then Which works fine as: if [ <blah> ]; then And: exit -1 which is fine if changed to a positive exit value. I'm quite happy to produce a patch that makes it work under both FreeBSD's sh and bash - I would assume this would work under most sh like shells.
