Script Stub

This sort of thing is a matter of preference really but given that there are a few threads pertaining to "unix script best practices" I thought it would be useful to post a script stub to promote just that - a best practice.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
#
# SCRIPT: NAME_of_SCRIPT
# AUTHOR: AUTHORS_NAME
# DATE:   DATE_of_CREATION
# REV:    1.1.A (Valid are A, B, D, T and P)
#               (For Alpha, Beta, Dev, Test and Production)
#
# PLATFORM: (SPECIFY: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris 
#                      or Not platform dependent)
#
# PURPOSE: Give a clear, and if necessary, long, description of the
#          purpose of the shell script. This will also help you stay
#          focused on the task at hand.
#
# REV LIST:
#        DATE: DATE_of_REVISION
#        BY:	  AUTHOR_of_MODIFICATION   
#        MODIFICATION: Describe what was modified, new features, etc-
#
#
# set -n   # Uncomment to check your syntax, without execution.
#          # NOTE: Do not forget to put the comment back in or
#          #       the shell script will not execute!
# set -x   # Uncomment to debug this shell script (Korn shell only)
#

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a	Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
