bash shell script as plugin?

[Gerald Wichmann]

Funny I couldn't get it to work using -norc --.. didn't like the "-" and got
the same error without the "-" but with the "-norc". Anyways in reading the
docs I noticed -norc is automatic if you do #!/bin/sh instead of #!/bin/bash
and changed it. Works perfectly now.

You have to tell bash not to try loading the profile information...

#!/bin/bash --norc --

That or give the user it's running as an invalid homedir.
