Really?

Learn to write scripts as root,
what a concept.

Lots of errors there too.

Okay, I'm a bit new to shell scripting but learning. What's wrong with
writing a shell script as root so long as the script does not have root
privileges itself? There was very little about this in the 3 or 4 books I
have been using to learn shell scripting, so I'm wondering if I (or they)
missed something. No, I won't go to Dinesh's site that shall remain
nameless to find out! Thanks ...
