Synopsis
sh [options] [file[arguments]]
The standard Unix shell, a command interpreter into which all other commands are entered. On modern versions of Linux, this is just another name for the bash shell. For more information, see Chapter 6. For legacy Linux versions and other Unix flavors, be careful not to rely on sh and bash being equivalent.
