Actually that should be /usr/bin/sh for at least 10 years ;-)
/bin/cp and /bin/cat are UNIX dinosaurs, just as /bin/sh. Traditionally these
exist as symbolic links to the updated locations.

I'm sure everybody is aware that when using /bin/sh, you may only use the
features
of the classic Bourne shell, wile /usr/bin/sh most likely is a POSIX shell, and
"bash" is ... well: "bash". Expecting from /bin/sh to be more capable than
Bourne
shell of 15 years ago is a mistake. Personally I'm using POSIX features unless
I
absolutely need Bash, but then I specify /bin/bash as Shell.
Sorry for preaching.
