where to put shell scripts?

[Krzys Majewski <majewski@cs.ubc.ca>]

I have a  habit of writing many shell scripts  for everything. Some of
them are  very local to me, so  I put them in  ${HOME}/shell and stick
that in my  PATH. Some of them may be generally  useful, so although I
don't have any users, I'm anal,  and I put them in /usr/local/sbin/. I
don't  know what  the "s"  stands for,  maybe "system"?  This location
works well enough except locally compiled system software may also put
stuff there, in which case we have both binaries and sh scripts in the
same directory, is that OK? Any better suggestions? -chris
