Before that I tried just running plain chsh without sudo , but it wouldn't allow me to change my shell to that path.
Now when I try to start ...

Make sure /opt/local/bin/bin/bash should be a line in /etc/shells.
Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist and set the "Shell" key to "/bin/bash be stuck making a new user with admin privs and reset your shell there.

I'm working through the Composite Application Guidance and often come across instantiation of an object of type interface e.g.:
IShell shell = new Shell();
instead of type class:
Shell shell = new Shell();
What are the differences between these two? Why...

The obvious difference is that the first allows you to use shell as an IShell only, the second allows you to use all the features of Shell which happen to also include those of IShell.

Hi Folks,
Have people noticed that if you modify the source of a shell script, any instances that are currently running are liable to fail?
This in my opinion is very bad; it means that I have to make sure all instances of a script are stopped before ...

Make sure the shell has to parse the whole file before executing any of it:
#!/bin/ksh { all, depending on complexity of the shell scripts that are involved.

I want to find if certain files are changed within the last three minutes in order to decide if the cp was successful, and if I should exit or continue the script. How can I do that?
Thanks
