This kind of parameter substitution is in the POSIX 1 specification
for sh. See the parameters section of the man page for sh(1).
I stand corrected. ;)
But I wouldn't, I'd let bash do it:
Probably better to use sh, or ksh, since they
are in OpenBSD by default, and are more than
up to the task.
OpenBSD's ksh is great, I've never bothered to check if it's
available for Solaris for example. I've just assumed that it's
not, and bash is. And I use Linux too, so, I personally prefer
bash. =)
Though in this case I agree with you, at least if he doesn't
already have bash installed. =)
