On most Linux distros sh is a bash. Bash behaves a bit more like a POSIX shell when invoked as "sh". You should be mostly ok. But note that on a RedHat system the authors of the startup scripts "know" that /bin/sh is a bash, and liberally use all sorts of bashisms in their scripts, making them nonportable (and therefore prone to failure if you replace sh with something that's not bash). So you're stuck with it unless you want to fix their scripts. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ Until a man is married, he is incomplete.
