Your best option is "#!/bin/sh" at the top of all of your scripts.
Then you will always have a consistent syntax.  By your posting it
sounds to me like you have not been putting a #! line in your scripts
and have been taking "post-luck" over whatever shell the user is
running at the moment.  That will cause you no end of grief.
