Answer 1

How you are running your script? If you did with

$ sh myscript

you should try:

$ bash myscript

or, if the script is executable:

$ ./myscript

sh and bash are two different shells. While in the first case you are passing your script as an argument to the sh interpreter, in the second case you decide on the very first line which interpreter will be used.
