I was looking at the shell script and it seems you could be better served by using /bin/sh unless there is some function of bash you can't do without.

See https://serverfault.com/questions/865874/bin-sh-vs-bin-bash-for-maximum-portability for why I'm telling/sharing the above.

👎 from me. I prefer bash's extended test constructs which support wildcard matching for variables and don't run into syntax error quirks.
