For scripts beginning with #!/bin/sh, either shell should be fine. I think in
most cases it won't matter and you can go ahead and use whatever the default
is. If you want to make a particular script to run in bash (without changing
your user or system-wide settings), just change the shebang from #!/bin/sh to
#!/bin/bash (or whatever other shell you want it to run in).
