#!/bin/bash



Hello,

is it ok when acripts start with #!/bin/bash even if they shouldn't ?

I found at least /etc/init.d/apache, /etc/init.d/autofs

it seems apache could run with ash for example w/o problems
- it just needs change all

echo -ne "blahblah\n"
to 
echo "blahblah"

(wtf do we need the first?)

autofs seems can be easily changed to be runned using ash...

shouldn't maintainers use scripts that don't require bash?
