I am running Ultrix 1.2A (a Berkely type thing) and have written two shell
programs:
	/etc/daily
	/etc/monthly
for backup purposes.  The odd thing is that they are almost identical, the
exceptions being one argument to dump(8) and some commentary.  They have the
same owner, group, and permissions.  What's odd is that there's a read
command which works in one (daily) and fails in the other (monthly), with
a message something like
	read: not found
which makes me think that daily runs under /bin/sh (which has 'read' builtin),
and that monthly runs under /bin/csh (which gives the exact same error message).

Problem is, I cannot figure out any reason for the difference.  Is there some
secret I'm bumping into, and just haven't seen the documentation on it yet?

HELP - confusion makes me grumpy
