Perhaps you were aiming at something entirely different, but if you
were just looking to check the value of $SHELL:
test "$SHELL" = "/bin/sh" && echo bourne
test "$SHELL" = "/bin/csh" && echo c
As far as MacOS X and /bin/sh: from the accounts I've read, the Apple
engineers have been pretty savvy in their design, so I've no doubt
that /bin/sh exists, either as a link to /bin/zsh or as an executable.
After all, I recall configure scripts working and they start with the
line:
#!/bin/sh
Mark.
