Bash is not everywhere, but /bin/sh is..! If portability is important, I'd recommend Bourne shell instead. Sometimes there's a justification for writing shell scripts in bash. E.g. if you only care about Linux forever. Frequently though, a simple script will unexpectedly grow, and start to require non-trivial data structures, etc. If there's no time for a rewrite in a more appropriate language (Python/Ruby/Perl), then moving to bash can be a compromise. |

You caught me, and you're right: sh (not bash) is the portable option.
