bash is mostly compatible with bourne (can run most bourne scripts) which is why /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash on GNU and most other *nix systems.


when bash is invoked as /bin/sh, it reverts to more Bourne like behaviors in some circumstances where the default is not compatible.

Most of the script developers at my $job seem to prefer ksh for serious scripting, apparently its more consistent.
