I don't think that was a serious suggestion. No matter what shell you prefer yourself for interactive use it is a good idea to use the default shell in scripts which are intended for wide use. Starting a script with: #!/bin/bash or rc or pdksh or wsh is just going to fail on most systems here. All my scripts say #!/bin/sh even though I use ksh as my default shell. That way they will likely run on most *ix systems without alteration. Good luck! Rod/ /earth: write failed, file system is full cp: /earth/creatures: No space left on device
