+# shelltemplate #
+I noticed that I usually write the same pieces of code at the start of every
+project. There's the shebang, the copyright header, the program name and the
+version. This is then followed by variables that holds the path to the binaries
+used in the script. After that is the sanity check to check for those binaries.
+Then there is the function for printing the help screen and usage text.
+So I thought it would be a good idea to keep all of this repeating code in
+template. And while at it create a neat function to get all the binaries used
+in the script into variables without having to manually specifiy the path by
+myself. With this template I can simply just specifiy the binaries to be used
+by the script and let a loop run through them and set varibles for them. This
+neat little function uses the 'which' program. This means that there is only
+one hardcoded binary path in the entire script. If the script fails to execute
+'which' I just have to locate it manually and update a single variable.
