Mike Drob commented on ACCUMULO-2423:
-------------------------------------
Note that I would be more than happy to converge on sh instead, but that might
make other people's script writing experience much more painful. sh has a lot
more rough edges than bash does.
> Converge Shell scripts on single implementation

> Do we want to have a stated dependency on a particular shell? Most of our
> scripts explicitly use bash, but some use sh. Most scripts invoke
> {{#\!/usr/bin/env bash}} but some do {{#\!/bin/bash}} or other crazy things.
> I don't have a particular preference which way we go, but I'd like to see us
> standardize one way or the other.
> If we use {{/bin/sh}}, then we can run everything through the
> [checkbashisms|https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh#I_am_a_developer._How_can_I_avoid_this_problem_in_future.3F]
> script (also available for other distros)
> If we go the other way, and switch everything to bash, then we can run them
> through {{ksh -n}} for deprecation warnings. I know that's a different shell,
> but they're still moderately useful.
