I think a better solution to this is to either use #!/bin/bash for bash-specific scripts (instead of #!/bin/sh), or remove bash-isms and use POSIX-only scripting. The nice thing about having /bin/sh linked to ash is ash is quite a bit smaller than bash, and will thus give better performance for small scripts (lower startup and memory overhead). -D
