One thing I try to do is retrieve information from the system instead of hardcoding it.

For example, instead of

    USER=mail
    UID=8
use

    USER=mail
    UID=$(id -u $USER)
It improves portability and removes potential sources of errors.

Also note that this is something that should be done in any programming language, not just shell scripts.

I try to use the long-form of command-line switches in scripts, e.g. `cp --force` instead of `cp -f`.
