At present, I have #!/bin/bash at the top of the script, simply because that's what I know enough about to work with and can test. If someone with a bit of generic borne shell knowledge and non-bash implementations to test with wants to try it and shoot me any required patches, I'll definitely consider them. I just don't have anything other than bash to test with and know there are differences but haven't found them worth tracking as I'm still actively learning bash, so chose the bash implementation not because I wanted to exclude others or didn't care, but simply because that's what I know and can test so that's what's safe to use as the shebang. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
