SwitchTower and shells

Having problems getting SwitchTower to work? So was Ryan Heneise, until he discovered that he wasn’t using a supported shell on the remote host. If the remote hosts are reporting syntax errors when you try to execute a task, make sure you’re using a POSIX-compatible shell (although hopefully this restriction will be lifted in the near-ish future).
