       Body:
the only bash-specific part is that of substitution when trying to read a symlink.

if FORREST_HOME is set, you can run the script as-is with the solaris 'sh' shell.

        Key: FOR-251
    Summary: start script for UNIX bin/forrest should not be bash-specific
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Forrest
  Component: Core operations

Description:
There are some commands in the bin/forrest script that are specific to the bash shell. On most systems the default /bin/sh is actually bash. However, not so on one significant OS. We should be neutral.

As a workaround the script has been set to be /bin/bash
