Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ovh/the-bastion/issues/550

osh-remove-empty-folders.sh uses the -regextype egrep argument for find, that is not supported on FreeBSD, but there is the equivalent -E argument that needs to be set before the path
osh-rotate-ttyrec.sh uses the --signal USR1 argument for pkill, that is not supported on FreeBSD, but there is the equivalent -USR1 argument
osh-lingering-sessions-reaper.sh uses several unsupported arguments for ps; unfortunately there isn't a straightforward equivalent on FreeBSD, a more complex command pipeline needs to be used

Thanks for the report. I've pushed a fix for the two first cron scripts, as these are pretty straighforward. I'll look into the third one and check what is possible (I'd like to avoid aligning greps, but maybe this is the only solution)
