How to transfer scripts from bash to dash?

Question

I would like to avoid installing bash for every new installation of Debian 6. Therefore, I need to convert all my bash scripts to dashes.
“How do you do that?”
- What are the differences between the two languages?
- Do you know about any reservations and traps?
- Is it possible to automate this task?

Answer 1

Here is a page with some bashisms . You can use it as a guide to transfer from Bash to dash.

I do not know why you are saying that you need to install Bash . It is listed as a required package .

Answer 2

The best strategy is to stick to the standard instead of any specific implementation. Dash is much closer to her than Bash.
