problem double-clicking shell scripts

Yes, but .command is known to the Finder to mean it's an executable that
should be run when double-clicked.

By default on OS X client, double-clicking a .sh file opens it in TextEdit.
Any other behavior from double-clicking a .sh file means that either the
file has type/creator info, or some other option has been set up in Launch
Services db either via Get Info's "Open with" option, or some installer, or
some application's bundle claiming ownership, etc...
