Hi,

I have written a series of bash shell scripts that I will putting on a website for anyone (ie people in my specific field) to download and use. I am currently writing a readme file that explains how to run them, and it has occurred to me that it would be a good idea to indicate that they are bash shell scripts and therefore you must have bash installed on your computer.

- Since I am new to unix shell scripting I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for such a blurb. Basically I would like to make sure I am using the correct terminology and have included enough information. Would something as simple as "These are bash shell scripts, and therefore bash must be installed on your system" be sufficient? What other info should I provide?

- Also, I have no idea what systems other people will be running these scripts on. I wrote them on a Mac Powerbook. The shebang in all my scripts is #!/bin/bash. Is that generally where bash is located on other systems?

Thanks a lot.

Mike
