fix for the following problem:
on *bsd /bin/sh is not just a symlink to /bin/bash as on most linux's but a real standalone shell. and it behaves differently from "bash -c" behavior .. it doesnt exec the command given but waits till the command finishes. as a result a lot of "rogue" a flying around. solution is now ( $SHELL or /bin/sh ) -c exec <cmd>
