Bourne Shell Shortcuts

The Bourne shell (/bin/sh) provides fewer features than the C shell, but in its place offers a level of access to the shell that contains far fewer restrictions and intervening layers of interface. For example, you can write shell script programs directly from the shell prompt with Bourne shell. Input and output redirection and command aliasing are supported with the Bourne shell, but no command history, job control, or filename completions are available. For a complete discussion of the Bourne shell and its features, see the sh(1) reference page.
