What's the reason for launching everything using sh rather than bash? If I'm reading the bash documentation correctly, it means that ~/.bash_profile won't get executed (though it would get executed if it were renamed ~/.profile).

Always assuming that /bin/bash exists, or that /bin/sh is bash is probably bad style for portability across unicies.


However, in this specific case, it's probably ok.
