But the warning about potential script trouble is erroneous as I understand it. That's the whole purpose of the shebang that should be at the beginning of every script - to specify the shell which the script should use to interpret the contents of the script. Almost all scripts simply use #!/bin/sh. In most unix variants (including OS X), sh is actually a link to bash nowadays. If you've got a shebang in the first line of the script, it doesn't matter what command shell you launch the script from - it's going to be interpreted using the shell specified in the shebang. All that being said, I'm moving into the 21st century and making the switch to zsh. I highly recommend it to people interested in this post.
