I thought I would do a poll on shell scripts. I am install freevsd, and there where tasks I needed to do, and they are all over the place, and I wanted a central way to take care of some of them. So I decided to look into schell scripts. I had really never used them before, and how wrong I was. I love these things. Easy to use and easy to write. I was wondering if this is over looked or other people use them too.

I like ksh scripts. And csh scripts. But not bash scripts -- bash is too bloated. I also have a t-shirt which reads "Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script".

csh? :eek:

Seriously, if you think bash is too bloated, you can always use ash. But it is usually don't matter as on Linux /bin/sh is bash, which means it is almost always inside your o/s buffer memory.
