Looking at shells for interactive use as I've been using Bash since the beginning. I did look at #FreeBSD default sh but it's history is a tad clunky. Yesterday I was introduced to oksh a public domain Korn shell via a blog by
Ruben Schade :runbsd:🇦🇺🇸🇬 (nprofile…094y) and it does look interesting. I'd obviously continue writing my scripts to be posix compliant and running with sh but for interactive use this might be more me ?
Only one way to find out and that's to read up and try it I suppose. Feel free to chime in if you use oksh AKA korn shell.
