Em vez de usar sh tentando usar bash . Isso funciona para mim:
$ bash intro
Hello World
/usr/bin/neqn
#! /bin/sh
# Provision of this shell script should not be taken to imply that use of
# GNU eqn with groff -Tascii|-Tlatin1|-Tutf8|-Tcp1047 is supported.
GROFF_RUNTIME="${GROFF_BIN_PATH=/usr/bin}:"
PATH="$GROFF_RUNTIME$PATH"
export PATH
exec eqn -Tascii ${1+"$@"}
# eof
Quando você invoca seu script usando sh você está realmente usando bash , mas ele está sendo executado em um modo que faz com que ele se comporte como se fosse uma versão mais antiga do shell que é o predecessor do Bash.
man bash :
If bash is invoked with the name sh, it tries to mimic the startup behavior of historical versions of sh as closely as possible, while conforming to the POSIX standard as well. When invoked as an interactive login shell, or a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first attempts to read and execute commands from /etc/profile and ~/.profile, in that order. The --noprofile option may be used to inhibit this behavior. When invoked as an interactive shell with the name sh, bash looks for the variable ENV, expands its value if it is defined, and uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read and execute. Since a shell invoked as sh does not attempt to read and execute commands from any other startup files, the --rcfile option has no effect. A non-interactive shell invoked with the name sh does not attempt to read any other startup files. When invoked as sh, bash enters posix mode after the startup files are read.
