  That sounds worrisome.  There's no such animal as "sh" anymore, just a
symlink to whatever.  Wouldn't it make sense to explicitly specify
"#!/bin/bash", rather than "#!/bin/sh" and hope+pray that /bin/sh
symlinks to something bash-compatable?

  Or if bash is too heavyweight, howsabout explicitly specifying
"#!/bin/busybox ash" and making sure that scripts run properly under it?
