Just one small nit: As we have members in the community whose platform doesn't normally have a 
/bin/bash, please make sure any new shell script introduced works with a plain non-bash POSIX 
shell, and use /bin/sh on the hashbang line.

(Just my personal opinion, of course.)


Personal, but valid. To test that you actually don't introduce bashisms
in a script you can simply set env variable POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 and then
the bash when invoked as /bin/sh will behave as a strict posix shell.

Cheers
