If you know /bin/bash is the right location, then use /bin/bash. If not, let 'env' find it.
Basically this; I've been bitten a couple times with a missing /bin/bash (though never /bin/sh)
Picked the trick up a few years ago (not sure where) and never looked back. :-)
Question: if /bin/bash doesn't exist, but it is defined via an env variable, what kind of system sets things up such that /bin/bash doesn't exist? I use /usr/bin/env for most things, but not for bash. Just curious/looking for a compelling reason to adopt it in future scripts. Cheers, Jamon
