As I understand it is used to make sure that bash is used.

Hi,

I have noticed that all knife bootstrap templates bundled with Chef are shell scripts wrapped in extra layer of "bash -c '...'". Can anybody here explain, what is the reason for this - some escaping magic I can't grasp now (it seems to just add one escape level, which rather makes problems than solves them), is it related to sudo, or is it just to make sure that bash is used in case distro provides a different login shell?

Thanks,
