Thanks Jochen,

I always, always, ALWAYS use #!/bin/sh and never use #!/bin/bash.

#!/bin/sh is a computer language.

#!/bin/bash is a development environment.

It's not dash on every computer, but it's almost always something more
secure and less bloaty than bash.

I promise I'll use #!/bin/sh to start every run script, and will ask
all who help me to do the same.

Thanks,

SteveT
