In bash, sometimes I would like to reuse a function in several scripts. Is it bad to repeat the definition of the function in all the scripts? If so, what is some good practice?

Is the following way a good idea?

• wrap the definition of a function myfunction in its own script define_myfunction.sh,
• in any script where the function is called, source define_myfunction.sh the script and then call the function myfunction arg1 arg2 ....

Thanks.
