}Unless you put '#@/bin/ksh', your shells will be run with /bin/sh,
}which is probably a link to /bin/bash.  If this is from cron or at,
}both of those programs explicitly state that all commands will be run with
}/bin/sh.

I am aware of the cron and at 'limitation,' but (see my other recent post)
I expect the shell to look at $SHELL to determine what shell to use if
there is no #!..... as the first line of the script...  This is how most
other flavors of UNIX work, including SunOS, SVR4 and SCO....
