Hmmm, I do run #!/bin/sh on my FreeBSD system. Maybe I should change it on my fedora box.
I have run scripting many years ago on my Debian box, but that was in the early 90's. I have been trying to do scripting on my fedora box to run a program and to give me notification of issues, but I'm running into problems. Maybe it will be better when I switch from bash to sh.
Right now I just play around with my boxes of fedora, Debian, FreeBSD and free-dos.
