testsilock and maybe other sh testing code not posix compliant

[aowen87]

Ubuntu uses /bin/dash in place of /bin/sh. But, most /bin/sh are really /bin/bash. Most of silo's tests that use scripts work fine on /bin/bash but may contain bashisms and other nonposix-compliant shell code that will fail on ubunto. Test everything with dash.
