just beware that /bin/sh on most (all?) linux systems is in fact bash. 
This fact I think helps encourage non-portable shell scripts.  My 
favorite one is where bash allows

if [ $x == yes] ; then

instead of only working with a single = like every other /bin/sh 
implementation.  I've had to fix that bug in shell scripts many times.
