Bruno Dumon resolved DSY-367:
-----------------------------

    Fix Version: public - 2.0
     Resolution: Fixed

Thanks for the patch, I've applied the part that modifies the debian scripts.

The other scripts don't rely on bash AFAIK, and since bash might not always be available (Solaris? other unixes?) I think it's better to leave things as-is.

> the init.d scripts we ship in the debian package (daisy-repository-server and daisy-wiki)  are using syntax that requires bash (e.g. 'let' command)
> however, their shebang-line points to /bin/sh

> - http://svn.cocoondev.org/viewsvn/trunk/daisy/distro/debian/resources/daisy-wiki?rev=3402&view=markup
> on systems where /bin/sh is not linked to /bin/bash the startup scripts will not work.
> One example of this is Ubuntu Edgy Eft (which symlinks to dash rather then bash)
> - https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+ticket/1932
> - https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/dash-as-bin-sh
> (side-effect: this means that people upgrading from dapper to eft will find those scripts not working any more)
> Suggested fix: 
> - since we use bash specific syntax I suggest we just update the shebang to require bash rather then the sh (and assume it is the same)
