It is actually, since dash is just a minimal POSIX shell without all the features that bash has it. Any script that uses bash constructs should have #!/bin/bash at the beginning instead of #!/bin/sh. It's more of an annoyance this days, at least on linux, because bash is always available in any distro and it is the default shell. -- mitu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
