No worries and glad that I could be of help. Yup, it's definitely not done correctly. If a script requires a particular shell, it should refer directly to that shell, not a generic Bourne shell reference/link.

IMHO, installation and/or "system" scripts should use code that is as generic (generic Bourne or generic Csh) as possible. Bash/Dash/Ksh/zsh should never specifically be required.
