Here is excerpt from "man sh" (appears the same on FreeBSD 9.3 and 10.3): A sh command, the Thompson shell, appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX. It was superseded in Version 7 AT&T UNIX by the Bourne shell, which inher- ited the name sh. This version of sh was rewritten in 1989 under the BSD license after the Bourne shell from AT&T System V Release 4 UNIX. > > -- > > William A.
