Not for scripting: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/ I work in an environment containing FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux boxes. Using a subset of BASH that also runs under the Korn Shell helps avoid portability surprises if I want to get something running on a different box, or if I post a script to a mailing list. If you're already in the habit of writing BASH and you have /bin/ksh installed, running "ksh -n" will syntax-check your script without executing it. I *think* pdksh does the same thing. -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore-house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. --Harry Truman
