I suspect I am on a SunOne box, how do I see available shells on this machine? Can I run a shell script even in case I don't have a shell?

I think that the "uname -a" command will tell you the basics of what OS you're running. Every Solaris system I ever worked with had me preset for bash, although it was an older and less-capable version of bash than what Linux uses.
probably the easiest way to tell is simply to search the system binary directories like so: "ls /bin/*sh", which would find things like bash, sh, ash, csh, ksh, and so forth. And doubtless a few false positives as well. Beyond that, you'd probably have to rummage through the system packages list.

One of the most odious afflictions that Business has inflicted on the modern English language is "pro-active". Most of the time it's simply redundantly used in place of the simple old word "active". And a good deal of the rest of the time it means "You're not overworked enough yet, so go out and find more!"
