The Bourne shell was the shell used in early versions of Unix and became a de facto standard; every Unix-like system has the equivalent of the Bourne shell.

The shell market is particularly volatile—a provider offering a seemingly great deal on a shell account may be there one month but gone the next—the result of a high failure rate for new shell businesses.
Poorly monitored shells and those with inexperienced administrators will be vulnerable to 'cracking', which could compromise the security of your bot and channels (if the shell your bot is on is cracked, then the attacker can add themselves to your bot and take control of any channels the bot is opped on).

 UNIX shell differences and how to change your shell (Monthly Posting)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A brief history of UNIX shells Note, this history is just known to be slightly out of historical order, it is in the process of being corrected, but for the moment should be taken with a pinch of salt In the near beginning there was the Bourne shell /bin/sh (written by S. Bourne).
Into this shell they put several concepts which were new, (the majority of these being job control and aliasing) and managed to produce a shell that was much better for interactive use.
Like the Korn shell bash was based upon the Bourne shells language and like the Korn shell, it also pinched features from the C shell and other operating systems (in my opinion it put them together better; guess which shell I use), but unlike the Korn shell it is free.
