You mean the like the traditional crippled excuse for a shell called
"sh"?
Well, fact remains that "sh != bash" on non-Linux/GNU boxes.
On my FreeBSD PC, I have /bin/sh and /usr/local/bin/bash, and these are NOT the same; sh is there by default, bash needs to be installed manually as a separate package. On an old IRIX workstation, I have /bin/sh, but bash is absent! Unless scripts (and the sofware in general) is only aimed at Linux boxes, one has to comply to what you call "traditional crippled excuse for a shell called sh"! Rob.
