Right. Maybe the requirement could be to have POSIX-compliant shell ( I
remember having problems with many applications when running fish shell
and that's why I moved to zsh), or why not replace those scripts with
Python snippets 'cause Python is anyway dependency for GNUmed?

Would using 'test' help?

Still, I'm for replacing scripts with Python.
