The "system default shell" (which should always be a /bin/sh workalike, I think) should always be the default. Any other shell should be something that has to be specified explicitly. At least, that's the way most posix programs work, I think. As Chris said, different shells can use different syntax, so if you want to write portable code you want to be able to expect /bin/sh by default.
So at a minimum we want a function for the system default shell. Anything else is a bonus :) |
