Or any other alternate shells that aren’t bash?

    If you are using FreeBSD, you are probably using the Almquist Shell.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almquist_shell

    BSD has not used Bourne since the 90’s. Bash is of course the “Bourne Again Shell”.

    For Linux fans, “dash” is the (Debian Almquist Shell). It is the Linux version of the BSD shell. Dash is the default /usr/bin/sh in Debian and Ubuntu I think. So, pretty close to the same shell as FreeBSD.

      That’s the one!

      SO much of the documentation I’ve seen refers to the Bourne shell I just assumed thats what I was using!
