I don't believe in using bash-isms in my shell scripts, which is why I write:

#!/bin/sh

and not

#!/bin/bash

I came around to this way of thinking after having to admin SunOS 2.5,
Solaris 7, 8, and 9, RHEL3, Fedora Core Whatever, Gentoo, and even
ancient SCO UNIXware boxen all at the same time. Write once, run
anywhere was useful. :)
